Popis: Positron emission tomography (PET) with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has found widespread use for the diagnosis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa). Unfortunately, PET/CT is not as widely available; thus a PSMA-targeting compound for scintigraphy is of special interest. The aim of this study was to compare 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-iPSMA and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Twenty-three patients with metastatic PCa were underwent 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-iPSMA SPECT/CT followed by 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Gleason score in all patients was obtained. Maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and counts per organ, including the primary and metastatic tumor, were normalized and compared using Pearson’s correlation test. Sites considered as positive have increased SUVmax and tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) in comparison with non-diseased organs/tissues (SUVmax =25.2±4.7, 18.4±1.6, 11.4±1.2 (P=0.037) from prostate, bone and lymph nodes versus TBR =35.9±45.2, 15.4±18.9, 19.1±51.7 (P=0.035) for prostate, bone and lymph nodes. 99mTc-HYNIC-iPSMA and 68Ga-PSMA-11 uptake values in the evaluation of the affected nodes were very similar, although their ranges ranged from 5-21 mm (12±7.6). Correlation coefficient was normalized between SUVmax and TBR, demonstrating r values for prostate of r2=0.731; for bone of r2=0.720; and lymph nodes of r2=0.864 (P
