The study is an open label, non-randomized study designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of SPECT CT.
The study is an open label, non-randomized study designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of SPECT CT. The study will consist of 3 cohorts, and a subset of the patients in cohort C will participate in a test-retest study, where the baseline SPECT/CT will be repeated. SPECT CT will be performed in all cohorts. Cohort A will evaluate SPECT CT by comparison to a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan using NaF. Cohort B will evaluate SPECT CT by comparison to 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT. Cohort C will evaluate SPECT CT by comparison to Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WB-MRI). Eligible subjects will be enrolled in a non-randomized manner per the treating physician discretion.

MDP (99mTc-MDP) administration, about 180 min post-injection: whole body scan followed by a SPECT CT of regions designated by a board certified Nuclear Medicine physician after review of the whole body scan.
A bolus of \~9 mCi (333 MBq) of 18F-DCFPyL will be injected by slow IV push.
A dose of 5 mCi 18F-NaF is injected through the IV and followed by at least 10 ml of saline to flush the IV line of the remaining dose. At the 1 hour post injection time, total Whole Body Images take approximately 40 - 60 minutes depending on the height of the patient.

Accuracy for Prediction of Progression Free Survival as determined by Quantitative bone SPECT indices (QBSIs)
QBSI will be measured on SPECT scans at pre-defined intervals. A lower QBSI would mean likelier progression free survival.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months post-treatment, 6 months post-treatment, at time of disease progression assessed up to 5 years
Reproducibility of the QBSIs using test-retest studies in 12 patients
Reproducibility measured by difference in QBSI between test-retest in 12 patients, as defined by the protocol. A smaller difference in QBSI reflects greater reproducibility.
Time frame: 5 years
Ability of QBSPECT to detect recurrence of metastatic disease as determined by QBSI in 60 patients.
QBSI will be measured on QBSPECT images obtained at the same time as standard-of-care bone scans. A higher QBSI would predict earlier recurrence of metastasis.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months post-treatment, 6 months post-treatment, at time of disease progression assessed up to 5 years
Accuracy of NaF PET/CT as determined by difference in QBSI from SPECT versus QBSI from NaF PET/CT in 20 patients
Difference in QBSI from SPECT versus NaF PET/CT. A smaller difference in the measured QBSI would reflect a higher accuracy of Na18F PET/CT. These images will be acquired within 32 hours of the bone scintigraphy scans at the pre-defined time points, per protocol.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months post-treatment, 6 months post-treatment, at time of disease progression assessed up to 5 years
Accuracy of PSMA PET/CT as determined by difference in QBSI from SPECT versus QBSI from PSMA PET/CT in 20 patients
Difference in QBSI from SPECT versus PSMA PET/CT. A smaller difference in the measured QBSI would reflect a higher accuracy of PSMA PET/CT. These images will be acquired within 32 hours of the bone scintigraphy scans at the pre-defined time points, per protocol.

Whole body MRI exam (total examination time \< 50 minutes)
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months post-treatment, assessed up to 5 years
Correlation of QBSI from SPECT/CT to restricted diffusion obtained from whole body MRI
Ratio of QBSI obtained from SPECT imaging to quantitative biomarkers of restricted diffusion (diffusion-weighted imaging) obtained from a WB-MRI protocol.
Time frame: 5 years
