The molar ratio Lu: DOTAtate used was calculated for each decay, in two situations: 1) without considering the influence of 177Hf; 2) considering the influence of 177Hf. The results compare both the calculated molar ratio and the radionuclide incorporation yields (%) in these situations. The yields increase when 177Hf influence is considered. This suggests that 177Hf is an important competitor for DOTAtate binding site. These data are relevant in the synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical 177Lu-DOTAtate with high specific activity.展开更多
