Unlabelled: The role of internal dosimetry is usually proposed for investigational purposes in patients treated by RLT, even if its application is not yet the standard method in clinical practice. This limited use is partially justified by several concomitant factors that make calculations a complex process. Therefore, simplified dosimetry protocols are required.

Comparisons were made by evaluating times and costs of the radiolabeling process, imaging features including pharmacokinetics, and impact on patient management. The analysis of advantages and drawbacks of both radioligands might help to make a better choice based on firm data.

Different PSMA-analogues labeled with [Ga]gallium have been investigated, showing excellent imaging properties; however, only small amounts can be produced for each radiolabeling. Recently, a [F]fluoride labeled PSMA-inhibitor, [F]PSMA-1007, has been introduced, and it has ensured large-scale productions, overcoming this limitation of [Ga]PSMAs.
