In vitro and in vivo comparative study of a novel 68Ga-labeled PSMA-targeted inhibitor and 68Ga-PSMA-11

Abstract 68Ga-radiolabeled small molecules that specifically target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been extensively investigated, and some of these tracers have been used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer via 68Ga-positron emission tomography (68Ga-PET). Nevertheless, current 68Ga-...
