For PET scans, [11C]PiB scans were acquired on Siemens ECAT HR + PET scanners at both sites using a nominal dose of 15 mCi of radiotracer. Preprocessing of dynamic [11C]PiB data was performed in AIR, version 3.0 [26] . Dynamic PET data were corrected for inter frame motion and averaged over 50–70 min after injection. Parametric SUVR images were generated using a cerebellar gray matter ROI. For MRI scans, T1-weighted MRIs were acquired on a 3.0 T GE SIGNA 750 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison site and on a 3.0 T Siemens Magnetom Trio at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center site. The SIGNA 750 acquisition used high-resolution volumetric spoiled gradient sequence (TI/TE/TR = 450/3.2/8.2 ms, flip angle = 12°, slice thickness = 1 mm no gap, matrix size = 256 × 256 × 156), whereas the Magnetom Trio acquisition used a magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence (TI/TE/TR = 900/2.98/2300 ms, flip angle = 9°, slice thickness = 1.2 mm, matrix size = 160 × 240 × 256).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On-site chemical synthesis of [11C]PiB yielded high specific activity (in excess of 2000 mCi/μmol) in batches of at least 40 mCi. Up to 15 mCi of [11C]PiB was delivered intravenously through a catheter by bolus injection (20-30s). PET data were acquired on Siemens ECAT HR+ PET scanners at both sites. A 68Ge/68Ga transmission scan was acquired for 6-10 minutes to correct for attenuation of annihilation radiation. Subjects were positioned in the PET scanner for a 30 minute acquisition following an uptake period of 40 minutes (40 -70 minutes post-injection). Time series PET data were reconstructed with a filtered back-projection algorithm (Direct Inverse Fourier Transform) and were corrected for attenuation, detection deadtime, scanner normalization, scatter, and radioactive decay.

Approximately 15 mCi of Pittsburgh Compound B ([11C]PiB) was delivered intravenously as a slow bolus injection (over 20–30 sec) in the antecubital vein. [11C]PiB PET data were acquired on Siemens ECAT HR+ PET scanners at both sites. A 68Ge/68Ga transmission scan was acquired for 6–10min to correct for photon attenuation, followed by a 20-minute emission scan (4×5-minute frames) beginning 50 minutes after injection. Standard data corrections were applied including those for detector dead time, scanner normalization, scatter, and radioactive decay. Dynamic PET data were reconstructed using a filtered back-projection algorithm (Direct Inverse Fourier Transform [DIFT]) into a 128×128×63 matrix with voxel sizes of 2.06×2.06×2.43 mm3. Images were filtered with a 3mm Hann window.

PET emission data were acquired on a Siemens ECAT HR+PET scanners as previously described [35 (link)]. Briefly, participants were positioned in the scanner approximately 35 min after [11C]PiB injection (15 mCi). A 10 min transmission scan was acquired using rotating 68Ge/68Ga rod sources to correct for photon attenuation, followed by a 20 min emission scan (4 × 5 min frames) beginning 50 min after [11C]PiB injection. PET emission data were reconstructed using filtered back-projection (Direct Inverse FourierTransform) into a 128 × 128 × 63 matrix with voxel sizes of 2.06 × 2.06 × 2.43 mm3. Images were filtered with a 3mm Hann window.

PET emission data were acquired on one of two Siemens ECAT HR+ PET scanners as previously described (Mathis et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, participants were positioned in the scanner approximately 35 min after [11C]PiB injection. A 10 min transmission scan was acquired using rotating 68Ge/68Ga rod sources to correct for photon attenuation, followed by a 20 minute emission scan (4 × 5-minute frames) beginning 50 minutes after [11C]PiB injection (15 mCi).

Neuroimaging of Amphetamine Effects

Participants were scanned on a Siemens ECAT HR + PET scanner (CTI/Siemens, Knoxville, Tennessee) with lead septa removed (63-slice coverage), with a maximum resolution 4.2-mm, full width at half maximum (FWHM) in the center of the field of view. Attenuation correction was performed using a 12-min 68Ga transmission scan immediately prior to tracer injection. The emission scan started simultaneously with the injection of [11C]raclopride, as an i.v. bolus, and data were acquired for 60 min in 26 time frames of progressively longer duration. Vital signs were monitored and blood samples for plasma amphetamine collected just prior to capsule administration, at the time of tracer administration, mid-scan, and at the end of scan.
High-resolution (1 mm) T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) were obtained on a 1.5-Tesla Siemens scanner, using gradient echo pulse sequence (TR = 22 ms, TE = 9.2 ms, flip angle = 30°, FOV = 256 mm, and matrix 256 × 256).

PET scans were collected on a Siemens ECAT HR PET scanner (Siemens, Malvern, PA) housed at UT Southwestern Medical School. Participants were injected with 370 MBq (10 mCi) of 18F-florbetapir (Avid Radiopharmaceuticals/Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN). Approximately 30 minutes after injection, participants were placed on the imaging table. A 2-minute scout was acquired to ensure that the brain was within the field of view. Fifty minutes after injection, an internal rod source transmission scan was acquired for 7 minutes, followed immediately by a dynamic emission acquisition of 2 frames by 5 minutes each. The transmission image was reconstructed using back-projection with a 6-mm full width at half-maximum gaussian filter. Emission images were processed by iterative reconstruction, 4 iterations and 16 subsets with a 3-mm full width at half-maximum ramp filter.

After an intravenous bolus injection of 10 mCi 18 F-florbetapir (also called AV45), participants were positioned in a Siemens (Munich, Germany) ECAT HR PET scanner for data acquisition, using laser guidance for precise head positioning. Velcro straps and foam wedges were used to secure the participant's head. To ensure the brain was completely in the field of view and absent of rotation in either the transverse or sagittal planes, a 2-minute scout scan was acquired. At 50 minutes post-injection, 2 frames of 5-minute PET emission scan and a 7-minute transmission scan were acquired in 3D mode using the following parameters: matrix size = 128 × 128, resolution = 5 mm × 5 mm, slice thickness = 2.42 mm, and field of view = 58.3 cm. Emission images were processed by iterative reconstruction, 4 iterations, and 16 subsets with a 3-mm full width at half maximum (FWHM) ramp filter. The transmission image was reconstructed using back-projection and a 6-mm FWHM Gaussian filter for attenuation correction 47, (link)48 (link) .

aMCI patients received a bolus of 10-mCi 18F-florbetapir 30-min prior to positioning in a Siemens ECAT HR PET scanner for a 10-min emission and 10-min transmission scan, as previously described in detail (16 (link)). Fifty minutes after tracer injection, a 5-min PET emission scan and a 7-min transmission scan were acquired. Every PET image was normalized spatially to 18F-florbetapir uptake template using SPM8 (Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, UK) and MATLAB scripts (Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA) and inspected for quality. Standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) was computed and compared to mean cerebellar uptake as a brain reference. The mean cortical SUVR was the average of: posterior and anterior cingulate, precuneus, temporal, dorso-lateral prefrontal, orbitofrontal, parietal, and occipital SUVRs (17 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
