    FIGURE 1.

    Representative dynamic PET images of healthy subject injected with 18F-FE-PE2I. PET images were created at level of striatum (top) and midbrain (bottom). SUV = standardized uptake value.

    Average time course of radioactivity in brain regions after injection of 18F-FE-PE2I. Time course for regional radioactivity (A), specific binding (B), and ratio to cerebellum (C). Data represent mean ± SD of all 10 subjects. SUV = standardized uptake value.

    Concentration of 18F-FE-PE2I and its composition in arterial plasma after injection of 18F-FE-PE2I. (A) Representative radiochromatogram at 30 min after injection of 18F-FE-PE2I. (B) Plasma composition of parent, M1, and M2. (C) Concentration of 18F-FE-PE2I in plasma. Values from 0 to 10 and 10 to 90 min are shown in each graph with different ranges of y-axis. Data represent mean ± SD of all 10 subjects. SUV = standardized uptake value.

    Representative fitted model curves of 1-TCM and 2-TCM. Time–activity curves in putamen, midbrain, and cerebellum were fitted to 1-TCM and 2-TCM using parent in plasma as input function. The 2-TCM (solid line) provided better fittings than 1-TCM (dotted line) for all 3 regions. SUV = standardized uptake value.

    Value of VT and identifiability as function of scan length. VT and its corresponding SE (%) (SE (%)) were estimated in putamen (A) and cerebellum (B) with 2-TCM using parent as input function with truncating scan length from 90 to 40 min. VT values are expressed as percentage of terminal value and plotted along left y-axis for putamen (□) and cerebellum (○). Corresponding SE (%), which is inversely related to identifiability, is plotted along right y-axis for putamen (▪) and cerebellum (•). Error bar represents SD (n = 10).
