Initial Experience of Clinical Use of [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-PSMA-T4 in Patients with Prostate Cancer. A Pilot Study
Numerous different molecules of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands are used to detect prostate cancer (PCa); most approaches utilize gallium PET and a few reports describe the role of SPECT/CT. [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-PSMA-T4 is a new radiopharmaceutical designed for the diag...
