    Compressed anteroposterior whole-body 2D planar images of subject 4, a typical healthy individual. Images were obtained at 0–2, 19–22, and 89–116 min after intravenous injection of 703 MBq 11C-PBR28.

    Compressed anteroposterior whole-body 2D planar images for unusual healthy subject 7 with minimal or no 11C-PBR28 binding. Images were obtained approximately 0–2, 19–22, and 89–116 min after intravenous injection of 544 MBq.

    Decay-corrected time–activity curves for visually identifiable organs from the average of subjects 1–6 (A and B) and the unusual subject 7 (C and D). Kidneys (C) and spleen (D) could not be seen in subject 7. Graph becomes too cluttered if SD error bars are included. Distribution of data is exemplified by the % coefficient of variation (SD/mean) at 60 min for A and B, with lungs at 40%, liver at 28%, gallbladder at 29%, and brain at 35%.

For the latter, nonradioactive PK 11195 (10.7 mg/kg intravenously) was administered 3 min before the radioligand. Injected activity of 11C-PBR28 was 348 MBq (A) and 332 MBq (B).
