The PET imaging was performed according to the previous reports [26 (link),28 (link)]. T1-weighted MR anatomical images were acquired on a 3.0 T scanner (GE Discovery 750, Milwaukee, WI, USA). The rhesus was anesthetized with ketamine (10 mg/kg; intramuscular injection). A circular 32-channel array head coil was placed on top of the monkey’s head. The whole-brain images were acquired with a 3D Bravo T1 sequence.
The male rhesus (weight range 9.48–10.96 kg) underwent PET (GE Discovery Elite 690, Chicago, IL, USA). The rhesus was anesthetized with ketamine (10 mg/kg; Intramuscular Injection), and then 2% isoflurane and 98% oxygen were used. A solution of [18F]Favipiravir (3.9–5.6 mCi) was injected, followed by a dynamic PET scan of the head or lung for 60 min.
