Prostate cancer kills over 10,000 men annually in the UK alone. Detecting prostate cancer typically starts through a blood test or biopsy, after which patients are referred for PET/CT imaging so radiologists can see their tumor and any metastasis to decide on the best course of treatment. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging is central to managing prostate cancer, although the production of radiotracers for PET imaging is usually complex and time-consuming which limits availability for patients.
