- Over recent years, within the community of radiopharmaceutical sciences, there has been an increased incidence of incorrect usage of established scientific terms and conventions, and even the emergence of 'self-invented' terms. In order to address these concerns, an international Working Group on 'Nomenclature in Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry and related areas' was established in 2015 to achieve clarification of terms and to generate consensus on the utilisation of a standardised nomenclature pertinent to the field. Upon open consultation, the following consensus guidelines were agreed, which aim to: Provide a reference source for nomenclature good practice in the radiopharmaceutical sciences. Clarify the use of terms and rules concerning exclusively radiopharmaceutical terminology, i.e. nuclear-and radiochemical terms, symbols and expressions. Address gaps and inconsistencies in existing radiochemistry nomenclature rules. Provide source literature for further harmonisation beyond our immediate peer group (publishers, editors, IUPAC, pharmacopoeias, etc.).

- In this study, the performance of various methods for generating quantitative parametric images of dynamic (11)C-phenytoin PET studies was evaluated. Methods: Double-baseline 60-min dynamic (11)C-phenytoin PET studies, including online arterial sampling, were acquired for 6 healthy subjects. Parametric images were generated using Logan plot analysis, a basis function method, and spectral analysis. Parametric distribution volume (VT) and influx rate (K1) were compared with those obtained from nonlinear regression analysis of time-activity curves. In addition, global and regional test-retest (TRT) variability was determined for parametric K1 and VT values. Results: Biases in VT observed with all parametric methods were less than 5%. For K1, spectral analysis showed a negative bias of 16%. The mean TRT variabilities of VT and K1 were less than 10% for all methods. Shortening the scan duration to 45 min provided similar VT and K1 with comparable TRT performance compared with 60-min data. Conclusion: Among the various parametric methods tested, the basis function method provided parametric VT and K1 values with the least bias compared with nonlinear regression data and showed TRT variabilities lower than 5%, also for smaller volume-of-interest sizes (i.e., higher noise levels) and shorter scan duration.

Amyloid PET and cognitive decline in cognitively normal individuals : the SCIENCe project

- We examined the relationships between amyloid-β PET and concurrent and longitudinal cognitive performance in 107 cognitively normal individuals with subjective cognitive decline (age: 64 ± 8 years, 44% female, Mini-Mental State Examination score 29 ± 1). All underwent 90-minute dynamic [ 18 F]florbetapir PET scanning and longitudinal neuropsychological tests with a mean follow-up of 3.4 ± 3.0 years. Receptor parametric mapping was used to calculate [ 18 F]florbetapir binding potential (BP ND ), and we performed linear mixed models to assess the relationships between global [ 18 F]florbetapir BP ND and neuropsychological performance. Higher [ 18 F]florbetapir BP ND was related to lower concurrent Mini-Mental State Examination (β ± SE: −1.69 ± 0.63 p < 0.01) and to steeper rate of decline on tasks capturing memory (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Task immediate [β ± SE −1.81 ± 0.81, p < 0.05] and delayed recall [β ± SE −1.19 ± 0.34, p < 0.01]), attention/executive functions (Stroop II [color] [β ± SE −0.02 ± 0.01, p < 0.05], Stroop III [word-color] [β ± SE −0.03 ± 0.02, p < 0.05]), and language (category fluency [β ± SE −0.04 ± 0.01, p < 0.01]). These findings suggest that higher amyloid-β load in cognitively normal individuals with subjective cognitive decline from a memory clinic is associated with lower concurrent global cognition and with faster rate of decline in a variety of cognitive domains.

EANM guideline for the preparation of an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD)
- 2014
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. - : Springer Verlag (Germany). - 1619-7070 .- 1619-7089. ; 41:11, s. 2175-2185

- The preparation of an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) for a radiopharmaceutical to be used in a clinical trial is a challenging proposition for radiopharmaceutical scientists working in small-scale radiopharmacies. In addition to the vast quantity of information to be assembled, the structure of a standard IMPD is not well suited to the special characteristics of radiopharmaceuticals. This guideline aims to take radiopharmaceutical scientists through the practicalities of preparing an IMPD, in particular giving advice where the standard format is not suitable. Examples of generic IMPDs for three classes of radiopharmaceuticals are given: a small molecule, a kit-based diagnostic test and a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical.
