    Differences in urinary excretion between 99mTc-MIP-1404 and 99mTc-MIP-1405. The planar and SPECT images of 99mTc-MIP-1404 (A and B) show minimal urinary excretion and bladder (BL) activity, compared with that of 99mTc-MIP-1405 (C and D). Images also identify metastasis in lymph node (LN) in pelvis and paraaortic lymph nodes (PLN).

    Comparison of 99mTc-MIP-1404 scan with bone scans in patient with metastatic PCa. PSMA imaging with 99mTc-MIP-1404 (in March) detected more metastatic lesions than 2 bone scans obtained either before (in January) or after (in June) PSMA scan. Ant = anterior; Post = posterior. Metastatic sites (red arrows) shown in PSMA scan (B) were detected by bone scan (C) performed 3 mo after PSMA scan.
