AbstractThe thymus is one of the most important organs of the immune system. It is responsible for both the production of T cells and the prevention of their autoimmunity. It comprises two types of tissue: the cortex, where nascent T cells (thymocytes) are generated; and the medulla, embedded within the cortex, where autoreactive thymocytes are eliminated through negative selection.

1 INTRODUCTION Given the emerging role of 68Ga-Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) in prostate cancer (PCa), strategies for its use in primary diagnosis are currently under investigation.1-3 An advantage of PSMA-PET/CT is its ability to provide complete disease staging as well as an assessment of the local tumor extent in the prostate.4 In Addition, PSMA-PET/CT is equivalent to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in reliably...
