    Whole-body time–activity distribution of 18F-GE067 in subject 1 (Table 1), with representative coronal and sagittal slices as indicated on CT view on left. PET image color intensities are expressed as activation concentration (kBq/cm3). Upper row indicates start (min) of whole-body scan.

    FIGURE 2. 

    Brain uptake distribution of 18F-GE067 in healthy 64-y-old male subject (top), compared with 68-y-old male AD patient (bottom). Transverse, sagittal, and coronal sections indicate absence of specific gray matter uptake of 18F-GE067 and aspecific uptake in white matter, pons, and thalamus. Images represent standardized uptake value ratios (SUVR) to cerebellar cortex, between 85 and 105 min after injection, obtained from phase I clinical study.
