Summary

A 60-minute positron emission tomography (PET) scan using [(11)C]SA4503 offers reliable sigma(1) receptor measurements for brain disorders. This shortened protocol provides accurate quantitative analysis, comparable to longer scans, with acceptable minor differences.

Background:

Positron emission tomography (PET) is crucial for diagnosing brain disorders.
Shorter PET scan protocols are desirable for patient comfort and efficiency.
[(11)C]SA4503 PET is used for quantitative sigma(1) receptor measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a shortened 60-min [(11)C]SA4503 PET protocol.
To assess its applicability as an alternative to the standard 90-min protocol.
To determine the reliability of quantitative sigma(1) receptor measurements using the shorter protocol.

Main Methods:

Utilized 32 [(11)C]SA4503 PET scans from 16 healthy subjects.
Analyzed tissue time-activity curves from 288 brain regions of interest.
Applied compartmental analysis (nonlinear estimation) and Logan plot analysis for binding potential (BP) and total distribution volume (tDV) derivation.
Compared results from a 60-min protocol with a full-length 90-min protocol.

Main Results:

The shortened 60-min protocol showed good linear relationships with the full-length 90-min protocol for both BP and tDV estimates.
Both BP and tDV values tended to be slightly underestimated by the shortened protocol.
Reliable quantitative sigma(1) receptor measurements were achievable with the 60-min protocol.

Conclusions:

A 60-min [(11)C]SA4503 PET protocol is a viable alternative for quantitative sigma(1) receptor measurement.
This shortened protocol can provide reliable results when approximately 10% differences in estimates are acceptable.
The findings support the use of shorter PET protocols in clinical settings for brain disorder diagnosis.
