The applicability of total distribution volume (DVt) as an alternative to binding potential (BP) was investigated for neuroreceptor mapping by positron emission tomography (PET). BP is defi ned as a representative quantity of receptor density. However, for making parametric images of BP, a reference region where an aimed receptor has a very low density is assumed to exist in a target region such as the brain. Thus, if the kinetics of a radioligand for target receptors does not permit an appropriate reference region, BP imaging is unattainable. In this study, [11C]SA4503 PET is taken to be considered which has a high affi nity to the sigma1 receptors. Through a clinical investigation using wide ranges of physiological situations, ages, sex, diseases, and selective drug-loading conditions, DVt has a
good linear relationship with BP, and the images can be used as a spatial stribution of sigma1 density.
