Official Title: Assessment of [18F]SF12051 for Imaging the 18-kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO) in Brain and Whole Body of Healthy Subjects
Brief Summary:
Background:Inflammation in the brain plays a role in many diseases.Being able to measure inflammation in a person s brain might help to diagnose and treat these diseases.One protein (TSPO) appears in higher numbers when inflammation affects the brain.To see TSPO when a person s body is scanned, researchers need a substance called a radiotracer that will attach to this protein and no other molecules.Objective:This study will test whether a new radiotracer ([18F]SF12051) can make TSPO appear on PET scans of a person…
