For short-axis PET system, standard blood input function (BIF) of the descending aorta is not acquirable during the dynamic brain scan. BIF extracted from the intracerebral vascular is inaccurate, making the brain parametric imaging task challenging. This study introduces a novel technique tailored for brain pharmacokinetic parameter imaging in short-axis PET in which the head BIF (hBIF) is acquired from the cavernous sinus. The proposed method optimizes the hBIF within the Patlak model via data fitting, curve correction and Patlak graphical model rewriting. The proposed method was built and evaluated using dynamic PET datasets of 67 patients acquired by uEXPLORER PET/CT, among which 64 datasets were used for data fitting and model construction, and 3 were used for method testing; using cross-validation, a total of 15 patient datasets were finally used to test the model. The performance of the new method was evaluated via visual inspection, root-mean-square error (RMSE) measurements and VOI-based accuracy analysis using linear regression and Person's correlation coefficients (PCC). Compared to directly using the cavernous sinus BIF directly for parameter imaging, the new method achieves higher accuracy in parametric analysis, including the generation of Patlak plots closer to the standard plots, better visual effects and lower RMSE values in the <i>K<sub>i</sub></i> (<i>P</i> = 0.0012) and <i>V</i> (<i>P</i> = 0.0042) images. VOI-based analysis shows regression lines with slopes closer to 1 (<i>P</i> = 0.0019 for <i>K<sub>i</sub></i> ) and smaller intercepts (<i>P</i> = 0.0085 for <i>V</i>). The proposed method is capable of achieving accurate brain pharmacokinetic parametric imaging using cavernous sinus BIF with short-axis PET scan.

Previously, <i>iso</i>-[<sup>211</sup>At]SGMAB-5F7 was developed as a HER2-targeted alpha therapy agent, demonstrating promising therapeutic efficacy in the preclinical stage. Aiming for an <sup>18</sup>F-labeled tracer for companion diagnostics in clinical translation, we employed the Al<sup>18</sup>F-RESCA strategy in our current work and investigated whether [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 could visualize HER2 expression <i>in vivo</i>. [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 was attained with high radiochemical purity (> 99%) and molar activity in the range of 16.5 ± 8.8 GBq/μmol (n = 8). Compared to previously reported radiotracers that contained 5F7 as the HER2-targeting carrier and fluorine-18 as the positron-emitting isotope, the radiosynthesis was simplified to one single step within 30 min. The dissociation constant of [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 was determined as 3.3 nM <i>via</i> saturation binding assay using SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells. Tumor uptake of the novel tracer in Balb/c nude mice bearing SKOV3 xenografts was 4.69 ± 1.51, 3.34 ± 0.82 and 3.77 ± 0.99 %ID/g at 1, 2, and 4 h post-injection. Even though high retention of radioactivity was seen in the kidneys, micro-PET/CT imaging of [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 delineated the tumor up to 4 h post-injection with minimal activity in the gallbladder, intestines, and bone. This study suggests that [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 is a promising HER2 PET radiotracer with an eased radiolabeling method. Whether [<sup>18</sup>F]AlF-RESCA-5F7 could work as a companion diagnostic agent to assist in patient stratification and treatment monitoring of <i>iso</i>-[<sup>211</sup>At]SGMAB-5F7 warrants further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":7572,"journal":{"name":"American journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11253080/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141722864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
