ntPET: A New Application of PET Imaging for Characterizing the Kinetics of Endogenous Neurotransmitter Release

We present a new application of positron emission tomography (“ntPET” or “neurotransmitter PET”) designed to recover temporal patterns of neurotransmitter release from dynamic data. Our approach employs an enhanced tracer kinetic model that describes uptake of a labeled dopamine D2/D3 receptor ligan...
