ABSTRACT: Purpose
Actinium-225 (²²⁵Ac)-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceuticals represent a promising therapeutic approach for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), yet clinical implementation remains limited by the absence of accurate dosimetric assessment methods. The complex decay chain and non-imaging alpha emissions of ²²⁵Ac pose substantial challenges for quantitative imaging. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of quantitative single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-based dosimetry for ²²⁵Ac-PSMA-CY313 therapy by exploiting gamma emissions from daughter radionuclides francium-221 (²²¹Fr) and bismuth-213 (²¹³Bi).Methods
Four mCRPC patients received 185.8 ± 11.7 µCi ²²⁵Ac-PSMA-CY313 and underwent multi-timepoint SPECT/
