    Abstract The linear parametric neurotransmitter positron emission tomography (lp-ntPET) kinetic model can be used to detect transient changes (activation) in endogenous neurotransmitter levels. Preclinical PET scans in awake animals can be performed to investigate neurotransmitter transient changes. Here we use the spatiotemporal kernel reconstruction (Kernel) for noise reduction in dynamic PET, and lp-ntPET kinetic modeling. Kernel is adapted for motion correction reconstruction, applied in awake rat PET scans. We performed 2D rat brain phantom simulation using the ntPET model at 3 different noise levels. Data was reconstructed with independent frame reconstruction (IFR), IFR with HYPR denoising, and Kernel, and lp-ntPET kinetic parameters (

    Abstract Recent advances in positron emission tomography (PET) have allowed to perform brain scans of freely moving animals by using rigid motion correction. One of the current challenges in these scans is that, due to the PET scanner spatially variant point spread function (SVPSF), motion corrected images have a motion dependent blurring since animals can move throughout the entire field of view (FOV). We developed a method to calculate the image-based resolution kernels of the motion dependent and spatially variant PSF (MD-SVPSF) to correct the loss of spatial resolution in motion corrected reconstructions. The resolution kernels are calculated for each voxel by sampling and averaging the SVPSF at all positions in the scanner FOV where the moving object was measured. In resolution phantom scans, the use of the MD-SVPSF resolution model improved the spatial resolution in motion corrected reconstructions and corrected the image deformation caused by the parallax effect consistently for all motion patterns, outperforming the use of a motion independent SVPSF or Gaussian kernels. Compared to motion correction in which the SVPSF is applied independently for every pose, our method performed similarly, but with more than two orders of magnitude faster computation time. Importantly, in scans of freely moving mice, brain regional quantification in motion-free and motion corrected images was better correlated when using the MD-SVPSF in comparison with motion independent SVPSF and a Gaussian kernel. The method developed here allows to obtain consistent spatial resolution and quantification in motion corrected images, independently of the motion pattern of the subject.

    Abstract Depending on the molar activity of the tracer, the maximal allowable injected activity in mouse brain PET studies can be extremely low in order to avoid receptor saturation.

    Abstract Preclinical brain positron emission tomography (PET) in animals is performed using anesthesia to avoid movement during the PET scan. In contrast, brain PET scans in humans are typically performed in the awake subject. Anesthesia is therefore one of the principal limitations in the translation of preclinical brain PET to the clinic. This review summarizes the available literature supporting the confounding effect of anesthesia on several PET tracers for neuroscience in preclinical small animal scans. In a second part, we present the state-of-the-art methodologies to circumvent this limitation to increase the translational significance of preclinical research, with an emphasis on motion correction methods. Several motion tracking systems compatible with preclinical scanners have been developed, each one with its advantages and limitations. These systems and the novel experimental setups they can bring to preclinical brain PET research are reviewed here. While technical advances have been made in this field, and practical implementations have been demonstrated, the technique should become more readily available to research centers to allow for a wider adoption of the motion correction technique for brain research.

    Abstract Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic, incapacitating, early onset psychiatric disorder that is characterized by obsessions and compulsions originating from a disturbance in the cortico-striato-thalamico-cortical circuit. We implemented the preclinical quinpirole (QP) rat model for compulsive checking in OCD to analyse the behaviour and visualize the D2R, mGluR5 and GLT1 density in order to contribute to the understanding of the neuroreceptor kinetics.
    Methods: Animals (n = 14) were exposed to either saline (1 mL/kg) or QP (dopamine D2-agonist, 0.5 mg/kg) twice-weekly during 7 weeks. After each injection animals were placed on an open field test. After model setup, animals were placed in a behavioural cage equipped with tracking software and hardware in order to analyse the behaviour. Subsequently, sagittal slides were made of the CP in the right hemisphere and a staining was done with the D2R, mGluR5 and GLT-1 antibody to visualize the corresponding receptor.
    Results: The QP animals displayed a strong increase in travelled distance (+596.70%) and in the number of homebase visits (+1222.90%) compared to the control animals. After chronic exposure to QP, animals had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher percentage of D2R density in the CP (7.92% ± 0.48%) versus 6.66% ± 0.28% in animals treated with saline. There were no differences for mGluR5 and GLT1 receptor density.
    Conclusions: Chronic exposure to QP leads to hyperlocomotion and an increase in D2R density. Furthermore, as mGluR5 and GLT1 density did not seem to be directly affected, decreased levels of glutamate might have influenced the binding potential in earlier reports.

    Abstract The molecular imaging of apoptosis remains an important method for the diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of certain diseases and the evaluation of the efficacy of anticancer apoptosis-inducing therapies. Among the multiple biomarkers involved in apoptosis, activated caspase-3 is an attractive target, as it is the most abundant of the executioner caspases. Nuclear imaging is a good candidate, as it combines a high depth of tissue penetration and high sensitivity, features necessary to detect small changes in levels of apoptosis. However, designing a caspase-3 radiotracer comes with challenges, such as selectivity, cell permeability and transient caspase-3 activation. In this review, we discuss the different caspase-3 radiotracers for the imaging of apoptosis together with the challenges of the translation of various apoptosis-imaging strategies in clinical trials.
