Bisphosphonates are well established ligands for 99mTc for planar and SPECT/CT imaging of osteoblastic metastases. A novel DOTA-based bisphosphonate, (4-{[bis-(phosphonomethyl))carbamoyl]methyl}-7,10-bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododec-1-yl)acetic acid (BPAMD) [1, 2], was labelled using the 68Ge/68Ga generator-derived positron emitter 68Ga [3], resulting in the PET tracer [68Ga]BPAMD. …Anzeige
