Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting Australian men. Advances in medical imaging are transforming how prostate cancer is detected, diagnosed and monitored, making access to specialised imaging and expertise increasingly important.
Our network of clinics offers advanced prostate imaging services, including prostate MRI, PSMA PET/CT and specialised PSMA PET/MRI fusion expertise, supporting patients and referring specialists across the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay.
Specialist expertise in prostate imaging
Dr Lisa Tarlinton is a dual-trained Radiologist and Nuclear Medicine Physician with extensive expertise in prostate and cancer imaging. Her specialist training includes fellowships in PET/CT and body oncology imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, one of the world’s leading cancer centres.
With expertise across both MRI and nuclear medicine, Lisa brings a specialised understanding of how these imaging techniques can work together to support prostate cancer assessment and management.
“Having access to both advanced prostate MRI and PSMA PET/CT allows us to provide complementary information that can be particularly valuable in assessing and staging prostate cancer,” Dr Tarlinton said.
Advanced prostate MRI and PSMA PET/CT
Our prostate imaging services are supported by advanced technology, including 3T MRI and digital PET/CT.
- Prostate MRI: Provides detailed imaging of the prostate to help identify suspicious areas and guide decisions about further investigation.
- PSMA PET/CT: Helps identify prostate cancer within the body, supporting cancer staging, assessment of recurrence and treatment planning.
- PSMA PET/MRI fusion: Combines complementary MRI and PET imaging information to assist with a more comprehensive assessment.
- Theranostics: Access to targeted Lu-177 PSMA treatment for eligible patients with prostate cancer.
