“…A cylinder calibration method was used to convert the image units from cps per voxel (cps/voxel) to nCi per cm3 (nCi/cm3). Finally, the CT scan was performed by the same machine[17], [18].…”

“…Subsequently, the dried sections were exposed overnight to an imaging plate (BAS SR2040, 20 × 40 cm 2 ; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). The imaging plate was then scanned with a phosphor image reader (FLA-5100; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan), and the obtained images were analysed using Multi Gauge 3.0 software (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) to calculate the striatal specific uptake ratio (SUr), which is defined as (PSL striatum − PSL cerebellum )/PSL cerebellum [41], where PSL is the photostimulated-luminescence intensity [42, 43]. Five consecutive brain sections from each animal were used to determine the target PSL.…”

“…The noninvasive nature of these two platforms enables their use in preclinical animal studies and human clinical studies. In contrast, autoradiography imaging [18][19][20][21] is an ex vivo technology requiring excision of the tissue/region of interest. This is the most commonly used method in drug development studies to determine the drug distribution in the body or individual organ at a fixed point in time.…”

“…out of all positronemitters employed by PET, 18 F-labeled pharmaceuticals have the most desirable properties: low positron energy and an optimal physical half-life of 110 min, which allows for more complex radiosynthesis and longer in vivo experiments and monitoring [22]. While MRI does not require a radioisotope, it can only detect isotopes with nuclear spins such as 1 H, 13 C, and 19 F. Because the sensitivity of MRI depends on the magnetic properties of the monitored nucleus and its natural abundance, drugs must typically contain 19 F or be enriched in 13 C in order to be effectively monitored in the body. Paramagnetic atoms such as gadolinium, iron, and manganese are utilized as contrast agents to increase the contrast in MRI images.…”
