68Ga-P15-041, A Novel Bone Imaging Agent for Diagnosis of Bone Metastases

Objectives68Ga-P15-041 (68Ga-HBED-CC-BP) is a novel bone-seeking PET radiotracer, which can be readily prepared by using a simple kit formulation and an in-house 68Ga/68Ge generator. The aim of this study is to assess the potential human application of 68Ga-P15-041 for clinical PET/CT imaging and to...
