    FIGURE 1. 

    Phantom images recorded using optical (CLI) imaging (A) and PET (B) of 6 samples of 89Zr activity in water. At time 0 h, the Eppendorf tubes labeled 1–6 corresponded to activity concentrations of 40.3, 32.6, 27.4, 20.4, 13.3, and 0.00 kBq/μL. Optical images were recorded using integration time of 30 s and f/stop of 1.

    FIGURE 2. 

    Quantitative analysis of phantom studies. Positive correlation observed between measured average radiance (background-corrected in units of p/s/cm2/sr) and 89Zr activity concentration (kBq/μL) (A), rate of decay observed in normalized radiance vs. time/h (B), and linear correlation observed between average radiance (background and decay-corrected in units of p/s/cm2/sr) vs. mean PET signal intensity (measured in units of %ID/g, commonly used for quantification of in vivo PET studies) (C). Ave. = average; Exp. = exponential.

    FIGURE 3. 

    Plot of ratio of average radiance (p/s/cm2/sr)/activity concentration (μCi/μL) vs. radionuclide. Positron-emitting radionuclides are arranged in order of increasing average β+ kinetic energy (18F: Eβ+ = 249.8 keV [Iβ+ = 100%]; 64Cu: Eβ+ = 278.2 keV [Iβ+ = 17.6%]; 89Zr: Eβ+ = 395.5 keV [Iβ+ = 22.7%]; 124I: Eβ+ = 820 keV [Iβ+ = 22.7%]). For 131I, Eβ− = 181.9 keV (Iβ− 100%). 225Ac decays by 100% α-particle emission with Eα in range of 5,021–5,830 keV (16). Ave. = average.

    Temporal images of 89Zr-DFO-J591 uptake (10.9–11.3 MBq [295–305 μCi], 60–62 μg of mAb, in 200 μL of 0.9% sterile saline) recorded in dual subcutaneous LNCaP (PSMA-positive) tumor–bearing severe combined immune deficient mice between 24 and 96 h after administration. (A) Signal observed in optical spectrum from in vivo CLI of 89Zr-DFO-J591 tumor uptake in 3 mice. (B) Corresponding coronal and transverse immuno-PET images recorded for mouse 3. (C) Optical image recorded of organs after acute ex vivo biodistribution at 96 h. Transverse and coronal planar immuno-PET images intersect center of tumors. Upper and lower thresholds of CLI and immuno-PET images in A–C have been adjusted for visual clarity, as indicated by scale bars. Trans. = transverse; +ve = positive; T(L) = left tumor; T(R) = right tumor; He = heart; Lu = lungs; Li = liver; Sp = spleen; Ki = kidneys; L. Int. = large intestine; Bo = bone; Mu = muscle.

    Time–activity curves showing ROI and volume-of-interest analysis of CLI and immuno-PET images for 89Zr-DFO-J591 uptake in well-established (large) LNCaP tumors. Volume-of-interest analysis of immuno-PET images shows change in 89Zr activity in heart–blood pool and muscle tissue.
