abstract = {For the adenosine A1 receptor tracer F-18-CPFPX the
olfactory bulb is an established reference region in rats.
However, quantitative awake PET with radioactive point
sources attached to the animal’s head for motion
correction might be biased by spill-in from the nasal point
source to the olfactory bulb. Moreover, for imaging without
any anesthesia, intravenous (i.v.) injection of the tracer
is demanding and stressful for the animal. This study
investigates the feasibility of the pons as reference region
and intraperitoneal (i.p.) tracer injection for quantitative
analysis of F-18-CPFPX PET in awake rats. Eight male rats
underwent six dynamic PET scans each following either an
i.v. or i.p. bolus of F-18-CPFPX. For both conditions, two
subsequent scans were performed under awake condition
followed by a scan under anesthesia. The outcome parameter
BPND determined via the simplified reference-tissue model
(reference: olfactory bulb or pons) was evaluated in terms
of variability and reproducibility. In-vitro H-3-DPCPX
saturation autoradiography of the same animals served for
validation of in-vivo outcome parameters.In-vitro Bmax and
F-18-CPFPX BPNDpons correlated significantly (all p<0.01)
for i.v. (r=0.81-0.86) and i.p. (r=0.81-0.88) injection
route for awake and anesthetized condition. Test-retest
stability of BPNDpons after i.p. tracer injection performed
best when comparing the different conditions and gave
reliable results in awake animals with high test-retest
correlations (r=0.99, p<0.01) and an acceptable absolute
variability (mean over all regions
$15.3±5.8\%).Quantitative$ awake small-animal PET imaging
with F-18-CPFPX is improved by applying a reference region
with lower probability of radioactive spill-in from point
sources and practicability can be enhanced by i.p. tracer
injection without loss of quantitative accuracy.},
