[11C]-(+]-PHNO was synthesized as described earlier31 (link). Quality control was in accordance with European Pharmacopoeia. PET images were acquired on a GE Advance scanner (General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI). Emission data were acquired over 90 min after bolus-injection of 309 [81] MBq (mean [SD]) [11C]-(+)-PHNO. Raw data were reconstructed by filtered-back projection to yield dynamic images in 15 consecutive one-minute frames followed by 15 five-minute frames. With exception of two patients who chose to terminate their participation early, all subjects underwent T1 and proton density (PD) weighted 3 T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (see Supplemental Material).
