Whole-body biodistribution and radiation dosimetry estimates for the β-amyloid radioligand [ 11 C]MeS-IMPY in non-human primates Molecular Imaging Branch, NIMH Bldg. 1 Rm. B3-10 September 6 th, 2006
The following report presents measurements of whole-body biodistribution over time of [ 11 C]MeS- IMPY and estimation of resulting radiation exposure to organs of the body. Absorbed doses were estimated following administration of [ 11 C]MeS-IMPY and calculated from rhesus monkey biodistribution data. Radioactivity distribution Two male rhesus monkeys (5.25 and 5.95 kg) underwent whole-body PET scans after intravenous injection via the posterior tibial vein of 6.77 and 9.95 mci of [ 11 C]MeS-IMPY. 2D dynamic scans were acquired on the GE Advance tomography (GE Medical Systems, WI) in 4 segments of the body (head to upper thigh) in frames of increasing duration (75 s to 15 min) for a total scan time of 120 minutes. The tomographic PET images were compressed into a single planar image. Image analysis was done using the PMOD 2.6 computer program on the compressed planar images. Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn in source organs that could be identified: brain, heart, liver, gallbladder, lungs, kidneys, and urinary bladder. Large ROIs were placed to assure that all accumulated radioactivity in each organ was encompassed. Many of the source organs were not confined to a single bed position. In these cases, new time points were generated for these organs to correspond with the activity data. This was achieved by weighting the time points associated with each bed position the organ appeared in by the percentage of the organ volume present in a given section. These values were then summed to give the final time points. The organ values of IA were corrected for recovery of measured activity. To accomplish this, a large region of interest was placed over the entire body for each of the 22 frames. The IA value for each source organ at every time point was corrected for recovery by multiplying by 100/X, where X is the measured recovery for the individual frame. The remainder of body was calculated for each time point as the decayed value of the original IA minus activity present in the identified source organs. Calculating Residence Times At each time point, non-decay-corrected data of those organs were converted to the fraction of the injected dose by dividing the organ activities by the total injected activity (IA). The total injected activity was calculated as the entire activity present in frame 1 in each of the four segments. Time-activity curves (TACs) for the source organs are shown in Figures 1 to 8. The area under the curve of each organ was calculated by the trapezoidal method up to the termination of acquisition (120 min). The area under the curve after the acquisition of the last image, i.e., to infinity, was calculated by assuming that the decline in radioactivity after this time point occurred by only physical decay, without any further biological clearance. The area under the curve of % injected activity from time zero to infinity (after multiplication by 100) is equivalent to residence time for the monkey. The residence times from the monkey were converted into corresponding human values by multiplication with a factor to scale organ and body weights: (b m /o m ) x (b h /o h ), where b m and b h are the body weights of monkey and human, respectively; and o m and o h are the organ weights of monkey and human, respectively. Table 1 gives the average residence time for each of the source organs and for the remainder of the body. Estimation of human absorbed radiation dose The radiation absorbed doses were calculated by entering the residence times for all source organs into OLINDA 1.0 computer program using the model for a 70-kg adult male. Table 2 shows the absorbed dose estimates for humans.
