Rat Imaging and In Vivo Stability Studies using [11C]-Dimethyl-Diphenyl Ammonium, a Candidate Agent for PET-Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

This study further illustrates that [11C]DMDPA holds, at least in part, essential qualities required from a PET-MPI probe. Owing to the improved radiosynthetic procedure reported herein, [11C]DMDPA can be produced in sufficient amounts for clinical use.
