This study is being done to determine the safety, biodistribution, and radiation dosimetry of 18F-DCFPyL, and to detect prostate cancer by visual analysis.
To assess the hypothesis that this new 2nd generation positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical, 18F-DCFPyL, may possess pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties that will represent an advance in imaging metastatic prostate cancer in ten patients diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
