Based on our results renal 68 Ga-PSMA-11 uptake appeared to be correlating with renal function tests. 68 Ga-PSMA-11 seems to be a potential alternative to 99m Tc-DMSA but further work, such as learning the mechanism of uptake, physiologic meaning of uptake, biodistribution in children, determining the optimal injected activity and imaging time, and investigating the dosimetry, is required before its use as a renal cortical tracer can be supported. The utilization of positron emission tomography in the evaluation of renal health and disease prostate-specific membrane antigen ligand be a potential radiotracer for renal cortical positron emission tomography imaging?
