Quantification of human nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with 123I-5IA SPECT.

UNLABELLED Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are widely distributed in the human brain, especially the alpha4beta2 subtype of nAChR. The cholinergic systems have roles in various neurophysiologic functions, such as learning, memory, and cognition, whereas normal aging and neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with changes in nAChRs. Recently, 5-iodo-3-(2(S)-azetidiny...

Quantitative accuracy of dopaminergic neurotransmission imaging with (123)I SPECT.

UNLABELLED 123I-Labeled radiotracers are suitable for in vivo imaging of the dopaminergic system by SPECT. However, precise measurement of striatal uptake is limited by scatter, attenuation, and the finite spatial resolution of the camera. We studied the quantitative accuracy that can be achieved with (123)I SPECT of the dopaminergic neurotransmission system. METHODS Using a Monte Carlo simul...

Automated quantification with BRASS reduces equivocal reporting of DaTSCAN (123I-FP-CIT) SPECT studies.

BACKGROUND ¹²³I-FP-CIT (DaTSCAN) SPECT studies of the nigrostriatal pathway are a valuable tool in the diagnosis of movement disorders. However some scans are reported as equivocal with potential adverse consequences. We investigated whether the use of quantification of tracer uptake within the striatum can be used to reduce the number of equivocal reports. MATERIAL AND METHODS BRASS software...

Absolute activity quantitation in simultaneous 123I/99mTc brain SPECT.

UNLABELLED Dual-isotope imaging can allow simultaneous assessment of brain perfusion using a 99mTc-labeled tracer and neurotransmission using an 123I-labeled tracer. However, the images are affected by scatter, cross talk, attenuation, distance-dependent collimator response (DCR), and partial-volume effect. We determined the accuracy and precision of activity quantitation in simulated normal an...

Applications of SPECT imaging of dopaminergic neurotransmission in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) tracers selective for pre- and post-synaptic targets have allowed measurements of several aspects of dopaminergic (DA) neurotransmission. In this article, we will first review our DA transporter imaging in Parkinson's disease. We have developed the in vivo dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging with [123I]beta-CIT ((1R)-2beta-Carbomethoxy-3beta-(4-...
