abstract = {Purpose In addition to rodent models, the chick embryo
model has gained attention for radiotracer evaluation.
Previous studieshave investigated tumours on the
chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), but its value for
radiotracer imaging of intracerebraltumours has yet to be
demonstrated.Procedures Human U87 glioblastoma cells and
U87-IDH1 mutant glioma cells were implanted into the brains
of chickembryos at developmental day 5. After 12–14 days
of tumour growth, blood–brain-barrier integrity was
evaluated in vivousing MRI contrast enhancement or ex vivo
with Evans blue dye. The tracers
O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine ([18F]FET)(n = 5),
3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F]-fluoro-L-phenylalanine ([18F]FDOPA) (n
= 3), or [68Ga] labelled quinoline-based small
moleculefibroblast activation protein inhibitor
([68Ga]FAPI-46) (n = 4) were injected intravenously if solid
tumours were detectedwith MRI. For time-activity curves for
[18F]FET, additional micro PET (μPET) was performed. The
chick embryos weresacrificed 60 min post-injection, and
cryosections of the tumour-bearing brains were produced and
evaluated with autoradiographyand
immunohistochemistry.Results Intracerebral tumours were
produced with a $100\%$ success rate in viable chick embryos
at the experimental endpoint.However, $52\%$ of chick
embryos (n = 85) did not survive the procedure to embryonic
development day 20. For the evaluatedradiotracers, the
tumour-to-brain ratios (TBR) derived from ex vivo
autoradiography, as well as the tracer kinetics derivedfrom
μPET for intracerebral chick embryo tumours, were
comparable to those previously reported in rodents and
patients:the TBRmean for [18F]FET was 1.69 ± 0.54 (n = 5),
and 3.8 for one hypermetabolic tumour and < 2.0 for two
isometabolictumors using [18F]FDOPA, with a TBRmean of 1.92
± 1,11 (n = 3). The TBRmean of [68Ga]FAPI-46 for
intracerebral chickembryo tumours was 19.13 ± 0.64 (n = 4).
An intact blood-tumour barrier was observed in one U87-MG
tumour (n = 5).Conclusions Radiotracer imaging of
intracerebral tumours in the chick embryo offers a fast
model for the evaluation of radiotraceruptake, accumulation,
and kinetics. Our results indicate a high comparability
between intracerebral tumour imagingin chick embryos and
xenograft rodent models or brain tumour patients.},
