The purpose of this study was to estimate the whole-body biodistribution of radioactivity and the radiation absorbed doses to organs after intravenous injection of [11C]FLB 457 in healthy human subjects. Methods: Whole-body images were acquired for 2 h after an injection of [11C]FLB 457 in six healthy humans. Radiation absorbed doses were estimated by the MIRD scheme implemented in OLINDA/EXM 1.1 software. Results: Organs with the longest residence time were the liver, lungs, and red marrow. The organs with the highest radiation doses were the kidneys, liver, and pancreas. The effective dose delivered by [11C]FLB 457 is 5.9 microSv/MBq, similar to those of other 11C-labeled tracers. Conclusions: This effective dose would allow multiple scans in the same individual based on prevailing maximum recommended- dose guidelines in the USA and Europe.}, pages = {102--105}, title = {Biodistribution and radiation dosimetry in humans of [11C]FLB 457, a positron emission tomography ligand for the extrastriatal dopamine D2 receptor}, volume = {41}, year = {2013} }
