PET, Imaging, and Tracer Development
This topic page reorganises the 18 source notes filed under
pet-imaging (16) and
microglia-imaging (2) into
reading-order axes. It does not replace the by-photo Markdown; every
substantive claim links back to a source note or the canonical
transcription. Where a source carries Uncertain Spans, that
uncertainty is preserved here rather than smoothed out.
Authoring Boundary And Source Selection
The corpus carries imaging evidence in many places — MC1 PET / 31P
MRS / [3H]BCPP-EF on the mitochondria pages, MJFF MC1 PET in
Parkin-PD planning and DATSCAN / 18F-DOPA / neuromelanin-MRI on the
Parkin pages, TSPO / DPA714 / FEPPA tracer comparison and Microglial
Imaging on the inflammation pages, and DAT / [18F]AV-133 / SV2A /
σ1R PET / Amydis retinal-tracer on the biomarkers-outcomes pages.
This topic does not re-state that material; it links across to
the existing sibling topics where the imaging modality is the
biomarker for that mechanism. The 18 sources covered here are the
ones that the section heuristic placed in sections/pet-imaging
(first nav_path entry rooted in a PET / imaging / tracer-discovery
nav cluster) plus the two sources in sections/microglia-imaging
(Microglial Imaging nav root, TSPO rs6971 polymorphism page and
its Modelling / NHP / PDE continuation). All 18 are disjoint from
the source sets covered by parkin,
mitochondria,
inflammation, and
biomarkers-outcomes.
A consequence of the heuristic is that several pages whose visible
body is the NLRP3 inhibitor program’s PET tracer chemistry / in-vivo
work, or whose body is unrelated to PET (psychiatric outcomes
slides, lysosomotropic vs LAMP1-binder lysosomal-tracer block, rare-
disease prevalence) sit here because their first nav_path entry is
PE, PET, NHP, Pipeline, or Terminology > Psychosis in PD > pipeline > Radiochemical. Those pages are anchored on the topic but
are not paraphrased; the canonical body lives on the by-photo page.
Overview
The corpus treats PET / imaging as eight overlapping problems. (1) A
PET tracer parameters / outcome-parameters reference framework
(Bmax, Kd, Bmax/Kd binding potential, %ID, SUV, V_T, BP_ND, R1/k2,
TRV / COV / ICC, dosimetry, specific activity, microdosing) anchored
on Patel-Gibson 2008, Friden 2014, Honer 2014, McCluskey 2020,
Hostetler 2016, Kazami 2019, and Takeda’s PETSC slide deck
(20240722_184809,
20240722_184813,
20240722_184823). (2)
PET Steering Committee (PETSC) workflow / lead optimization assay
flow / Discovery Process to FIH Study slides
(20240722_184816,
20240722_184819). (3)
The Selectivity / cold-tracer LC-MS triage / Preclinical study /
Clinical study workflow stack
(20240722_184826,
20240722_184829). (4)
Regulatory Development Path PET ligand (Mosessian 2014; eIND vs
traditional IND requirements; microdosing study definition;
glossary; AAV PET; safety; sharefolder; synthesis timeline)
(20240722_184836). (5)
NLRP3 PET tracer chemistry and in-vivo workstream — [3H]TR-126,
TR06647850, TR06683014/15, TR06616126, TR06692993, TR06693098,
TR06800430, MCC950 — as it sits in the pet-imaging section through
its PE / PET / NHP first nav-roots
(20240722_183252,
20240722_183258,
20240722_183301). (6)
VMAT-2 PET / [18F]AV-133 — Schwarz 2019 NS imaging strategy,
Cristian Salina 2022 sample-size analysis, AV-133 baseline-scan
inventory
(20240722_184604).
(7) 7T MRI sequence taxonomy and PD-relevant 7T literature
(20240722_184153). (8)
Microglial Imaging axis — TSPO rs6971 polymorphism (Mizrahi 2012,
Lee 2022), Takeda subject genotype list, NBB case TSPO-class
inventory, Dartmouth / Havrda IRB / tracer planning, NHP/PDE
planning grid
(20240722_183247,
20240722_183250).
Three off-axis pages — the Radiochemical glossary
(20240722_184420),
the Lysosomotropic vs LAMP1-binder lysosomal-tracer block
(20240722_184424),
and the PSYCHIATRIC OUTCOMES IN PD PPMI slide block
(20240722_184427) —
sit in this section because of their first nav_path entry rather
than because the visible body is PET / imaging.

Across the 18 sources, the source-note frontmatter records 66
uncertain_span_count entries and 0 body-embedded figure assets.
The zero-figure-embed count reflects the 2026-04-29 body-purity
decision (docs/decisions/2026-04-29-body-purity-and-figure-only-embeds.md):
the PET / imaging pages embed Takeda PETSC slide screenshots,
Bmax saturation curves, Hostetler 2016 PDE10A NHP brain panels,
the Patel-Gibson 2008 Table 1 reproduction, the Friden 2014 pie
charts, NHP brain coronal sections, [18F]MNI-1054 fused PET/MR
images, occupancy fit plots, the Strebl 2017 Bavarostat sagittal
sections, the Kroth 2019 Aβ tracer brain sections, the LC-MS
cold-tracer workflow slide, the Schwarz NS imaging strategy bar
charts, the Cristian Salina power-vs-effect-size curves, the
Niethammer 2017 AAV2-GAD UPDRS line plot, the (Strebl, 2017 #475)
Bavarostat workflow, the chemical-structure crops for HDAC6
candidate compounds and NLRP3 PET tracer chemistry, and the four
PPMI slide-as-image PSYCHIATRIC OUTCOMES tables, all inside crops
that also carry transcribable text (slide titles, axis labels,
table headers, surrounding cell text) and so are kept as evidence
rather than embedded. The 66 uncertain spans are retained as
review targets and not resolved here.
Tracer Parameters And Outcome-Parameters Reference Framework
20240722_184809 is the
core PET tracer parameters reference page. It covers Bmax assessment in rats (HDAC6 KO rat brain-slice protocol with [3H]T-3789533

(>67.6 Ci/mmol) blocks, the Outcome parameters table (%ID,
SUV, VT) with the Van de Bittner ≥1.0 %ID/cc threshold, the
Suridjan 2019 VT < 0.2 lower bound, and the SB 확인 방법들

MeNz reading, Bmax-targets row-to-rating mapping, Patel-Gibson
footnote superscripts, test-retest NHP-row alignment, Dosimetry
trailing fragment, SUV equation bracket nesting) sit on the source.

extends the framework with the BP_ND vs VT comparison table
(BP_ND = f_NS · Bmax / KD = (VT - VND) / VND, ≥2:1 (BPND >1)
criterion; FEPPA arterial-sample VT vs DPA714 reference-region
SRTM BPND), the occupancy formula Occ(%) = 100 × (BPND_baseline - BPND_drug) / BPND_baseline, the Variability sub-table
(TRV / COV / ICC with the McCluskey 2020 thresholds <10%, <10%,

Quantify target expression (Bmax) across speciesviability table (rodent / NHP / human Bmax for Targets 1-3 mapped to PET tracer tractability ratings), the R1 / BP_ND / k2 reference (Chauveau 2009 R1 > 1 facilitated entry), and the closing PET Tracer Viability criteria table (Kd < 10 nM,Bmax/Kd ≥ 10,LogD < 3,MDR/BCRP < 2, parent-tracer-dominant brain metabolism, tracer-dose safety). It also opens theFrom McCluskey 2020 — Basic description of common outcome parameters used in PET imaging studiestable (%ID,SUV,Relative SUV,VT) that continues onto 20240722_184816. 5Uncertain Spans(vertical row-label column structure,이건 tracer 아니라 약의 성질 아닌가?annotation, Hostetler figure labels,injection 이라는데?parenthetical, McCluskey table tail on the next page) sit on the source.
20240722_184823 carries
the Biomarker Types and Stage Gates — Alignment with Asset Milestones Takeda slide block (Asset timeline TE → PS → LGE → PE → CN → CS → EDE → IND → EPOC paired with the Biomarker timeline

Biomarker type-specific definition of milestones matrix
(Common / Molecular Biomarker / PET ligand / Neurocircuitry rows
crossed with the four BMx milestones), the Comparison: in vitro vs in vivo reference table, and the start of the Preclinical

Uncertain Spans sit on the source. The Biomarker Stage Gates
rationale here is the canonical anchor for BPS / BFA / BTV / BCS
as they appear elsewhere in the corpus (e.g. on
biomarkers-outcomes
the BAF / BAQ / BCS Biomarker Validation Milestones arc on
20240722_184726).
PET Steering Committee, Workflow, And Lead Optimization
20240722_184816 is the
PETSC slide-bundle page. It carries the tail of the TRV / COV / ICC
table from 184813, the Assay flow and criteria in lead optimization checklist (Compound synthesis → In vitro assays
[IC50<20 nM, >50× selectivity, LogD<2.5, MDR1 ratio<2.5]
→ Brain PK [fub>5%, Kp>0.5, brain amide <50% relative to unchanged] → Further profiling [monkey CSF PK, target occupancy

workflow flowcharts: Target validation workflow, Assay flow for 1st set of PET tracer candidates, Tentative flow for GCSi - Flow of PET tracer development (preclinical), Work Flow for PET Tracer Discovery, and the PET Ligand Development Work Flow - Reviewed by PET Steering Committee (PETSC). 4 Uncertain Spans.
The flowcharts are slide-style figures whose surrounding crop
contains decision-box labels and arrow text, so the figure body is
preserved as evidence and not embedded; the per-step decision text
should be read on the source page rather than re-quoted here.
20240722_184826 is the
Dose of PET tracer > PET Steering Committee > Workflow > Preclinical study page that carries (a) a continuation of the
multi-page brain-section reference table (Hall 1998 whole-hemisphere

(radioligand only; Brain penetrability, Regional distribution
deliverables) against Blocking (pretreatment) scan (radioligand +
two-dose drug candidate, two animals each; Target occupancy and
plasma-exposure / target-occupancy quantitative relationship as
deliverables); the example column names Takeda HDAC6 [18F]EKZ-001
([18F]Bavarostat, 2020 cELEN), with the (fig5) note that EKZ-317
achieves higher target occupancy than ACY-775 (full HDAC6 occupancy
at 2 mg/kg, >90% at 0.1 mg/kg). The page also carries (a) the In vivo PET imaging to assess regional distribution and blocking by drug candidate slide for [18F]MNI-1054 (chemical structure, fused

NLRP3 PET Tracer Chemistry And In-Vivo Workstream
The three PE / PET / NHP first-nav-root pages whose visible body
is the NLRP3 inhibitor program’s PET tracer development workstream
sit in this section because the heuristic uses the first
nav_path entry. They are not paraphrased into the
nlrp3-inhibitor
program entity page (whose source set excludes them) and not
paraphrased into inflammation (whose source
set excludes them). Specific tracer IDs, dose schedules, and
result cells are table-primary on the source pages.
20240722_183252 is the
PE > PET > Chemistry PET page. The PE Items / Schedule block
records the AQB1 (11/12 Nov), TMQB (16/17 Nov), NSRB (1/2 Dec),
PRC1 (16 Dec) pivotal-meeting cadence and the Working document_PRC_Narrative_NLRP3_Sep22.docx reference. The Chemistry
PET table contrasts the in-vitro Bmax desired profile (Ki <5 nM,
high Fu brain >5%, specific activity >67.6 Ci/mmol) against the
in-vivo profile (good PK, brain uptake and elimination, Ki and Fub, MDR1 (A>B*/ER): - (<6)), then walks across multi-iteration

7T MRI
20240722_184153 is the
7T MRI page. The body is a Wikipedia-style MRI sequence taxonomy
table covering Inversion recovery (SWI, STIR, FLAIR, DIR), Diffusion
weighted (DWI / ADC / DTI), Perfusion weighted (DSC / ASL),
Functional MRI (DCE / BOLD), and Magnetic resonance angiography
(TOF / PC-MRA). It is followed by Hyperintensity (=T2 hyperintensity) definition / synonyms / region / cause /
interpretation / disease block, the DBM (Deformation-Based Morphometry) definition, the 7T MRI 1.5T / 3T / 7T comparison
table (higher SNR / spatial resolution / contrast, fMRI / MRS / volumetric MRI 좋아짐, neuromelanin MRI and DTI 도움, the cons

Microglial Imaging And TSPO
20240722_183247 is the
Microglial Imaging first-nav-root page in
microglia-imaging. It
carries the TSPO rs6971 polymorphism background (GRCh38.p13 chr 22

Adjacent Pages Filed By Heuristic
The three off-axis pages here sit in sections/pet-imaging because
of their first nav_path entry; the visible body is not PET /
imaging.
20240722_184420
(Terminology > Psychosis in PD > pipeline > Radiochemical) is the
Psychosis-in-PD pipeline + Radiochemical glossary page. The
Psychosis-in-PD pipeline mini-table records Nuplazid (pimavanserin)
by Acadia as an inverse agonist / antagonist at serotonin 5-HT2A
(Ki 0.087 nM) and 5-HT2C (Ki 0.44 nM) approved by the FDA
for hallucinations and delusions in PD psychosis, with the SAPS-H+D
custom scale note. The Radiochemical block is the unit-conversion
glossary (radioactivity / specific activity / tSIS / CPM /
Efficiency / DPM / fmol/mg concentration / molarity columns) with
the 1 Ci = 2.22 × 10^12 dpm / 2,220,000 dpm = 1 µCi / 33P-γ-ATP 3000 Ci/mmol / 100 fmol/mg protein → 5 nM (brain conversion factor) reference set; the [3H]MCC950 Ki 11nM vs Kd 92.63nM
disagreement is preserved as written. The Definitions sub-table
covers Radioactive decay, Half life, Curie / µCi, Becquerel / Bq,
dpm, Specific activity, Theoretical maximum specific activity,
radioactive concentration / mCi/mL or µCi/mL, Molar concentration,
the PerkinElmer radiochemical-calculations URL, and the From / To
multipliers (Ci ↔ Bq ↔ dpm ↔ TBq) unit-conversion table. The
trailing Rare Disease block lists sPD, GBA-PD, CMT1, AGS, FTLD-Tau
prevalences. 1 Uncertain Span (ARG concentration cell mixed
Korean / English be approximated verb). The Radiochemical /
specific-activity content here is the canonical glossary reference
for the framework axes above; specific values should be opened on
the source page rather than re-quoted.
20240722_184424
(Pipeline > Radiochemical > Rare Disease > PET) is the rare-
disease prevalence table + Lysosomotropic vs LAMP1 binder
lysosomal-tracer comparison + Postmortem GBA-PD lysosomal evidence
table. The Lysosomotropic block introduces three compounds with
promising in-vitro / in-vivo profiles (TR06795533, TR06795793,
TR06795792) and notes that TR06795973 has all the desired profile
needed for a lysosomal PET tracer with safety and biodistribution
remaining (the TR06795973 vs TR06795793 digit confusion is
flagged uncertain). Goal: image the abundance of lysosomes in brain
and peripheral organs, intended for Gaucher / Hunter / San Filippo.
The 20231018 update prioritises Lamp1-binder development because
of the larger dynamic window. The Postmortem GBA-PD lysosomal
evidence sub-table cites Kurzawa-Akanbi 2012 (n=21, frontal /
cingulate, ↑ LAMP1 / LAMP2, ↓ Cathepsin D activity), Gegg 2012
(n=4, putamen, ↑ trend LC3II), Li 2019 (n=6, cingular cortex, mixed
↑ / ↓ LC3II / SQSTM1 / LAMP1 / p-MTOR / p-RPS6 / AMBRA1 / BECN1),
and Moors 2019 (n=3-7, frontal cortex / SN, ↓ trend Cathepsin D).
The closing REM-Sleep-Behavior-Disorder section starts the
PSYCHIATRIC OUTCOMES IN PD heading that continues onto

because PET is its first nav_path entry, but the visible body
is a clinical-scale longitudinal PPMI block; the same evidence is
not re-quoted in the
biomarkers-outcomes topic, which
covers the disjoint RBD / MoCA / Outcome measures first-
nav-root sources for that material.

Totals across the 18 sources: uncertain_span_count = 66,
embedded_image_count = 0. These are review surface area; the
zero-figure-embed count reflects the 2026-04-29 body-purity decision
(docs/decisions/2026-04-29-body-purity-and-figure-only-embeds.md)
under which mixed text-and-figure crops on these pages are kept as
evidence rather than embedded.

The [3H]MCC950 Ki 11nM vs Kd 92.63nM disagreement on
