Gallium (68 Ga) gozetotide or Gallium (68 Ga) PSMA-11 sold under the brand name Illuccix among others, is a radiopharmaceutical made of 68 Ga conjugated to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand, Glu-Urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC, used for imaging prostate cancer by positron emission tomography (PET). [11]
Gallium-67 citrate is produced by a cyclotron. Charged particle bombardment of enriched Zn-68 is used to produce gallium-67. The gallium-67 is then complexed with citric acid to form gallium citrate. The half-life of gallium-67 is 78 hours. [45] It decays by electron capture, then emits de-excitation gamma rays that are detected by a gamma camera.

After injection, imaging of positron emitters such as gallium-68 (68 Ga), copper-64 (64 Cu), and fluorine-18 (18 F) is carried out with a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner. For gamma emitters such as technetium-99m ( 99m Tc) and indium-111 ( 111 In) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is performed with a gamma ...
DOTA-TATE can be reacted with the radionuclides gallium-68 (T 1/2 = 68 min), lutetium-177 (T 1/2 = 6.65 d) and copper-64 (T 1/2 = 12.7 h) to form radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging or radionuclide therapy. 177 Lu DOTA-TATE therapy is a form of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) which targets ...
An endoscopy can examine the esophagus, stomach and part of the small intestines, and CT scans may be used to check for tumors or structural abnormalities in the head, neck or chest.
It is the longest-lived radioisotope of gallium. The shorter-lived gallium-68 (half-life 68 minutes) is a positron-emitting isotope generated in very small quantities from germanium-68 in gallium-68 generators or in much greater quantities by proton bombardment of 68 Zn in low-energy medical cyclotrons, [4] [5] for use in a small minority of ...
