Besson FL, Faure S. PET KinetiX-A Software Solution for PET Parametric Imaging at the Whole Field of View Level. JOURNAL OF IMAGING INFORMATICS IN MEDICINE 2024; 37:842-850. [PMID: 38343229 PMCID: PMC11031504 DOI: 10.1007/s10278-023-00965-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
Kinetic modeling represents the ultimate foundations of PET quantitative imaging, a unique opportunity to better characterize the diseases or prevent the reduction of drugs development. Primarily designed for research, parametric imaging based on PET kinetic modeling may become a reality in future clinical practice, enhanced by the technical abilities of the latest generation of commercially available PET systems. In the era of precision medicine, such paradigm shift should be promoted, regardless of the PET system. In order to anticipate and stimulate this emerging clinical paradigm shift, we developed a constructor-independent software package, called PET KinetiX, allowing a faster and easier computation of parametric images from any 4D PET DICOM series, at the whole field of view level. The PET KinetiX package is currently a plug-in for Osirix DICOM viewer. The package provides a suite of five PET kinetic models: Patlak, Logan, 1-tissue compartment model, 2-tissue compartment model, and first pass blood flow. After uploading the 4D-PET DICOM series into Osirix, the image processing requires very few steps: the choice of the kinetic model and the definition of an input function. After a 2-min process, the PET parametric and error maps of the chosen model are automatically estimated voxel-wise and written in DICOM format. The software benefits from the graphical user interface of Osirix, making it user-friendly. Compared to PMOD-PKIN (version 4.4) on twelve 18F-FDG PET dynamic datasets, PET KinetiX provided an absolute bias of 0.1% (0.05-0.25) and 5.8% (3.3-12.3) for KiPatlak and Ki2TCM, respectively. Several clinical research illustrative cases acquired on different hybrid PET systems (standard or extended axial fields of view, PET/CT, and PET/MRI), with different acquisition schemes (single-bed single-pass or multi-bed multipass), are also provided. PET KinetiX is a very fast and efficient independent research software that helps molecular imaging users easily and quickly produce 3D PET parametric images from any reconstructed 4D-PET data acquired on standard or large PET systems.

Effects of escitalopram on synaptic density in the healthy human brain: a randomized controlled trial. Mol Psychiatry 2023; 28:4272-4279.

Abstract
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the exact mechanism of action and why effects can take several weeks to manifest is not clear. The hypothesis of neuroplasticity is supported by preclinical studies, but the evidence in humans is limited. Here, we investigate the effects of the SSRI escitalopram on presynaptic density as a proxy for synaptic plasticity. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study (NCT04239339), 32 healthy participants with no history of psychiatric or cognitive disorders were randomized to receive daily oral dosing of either 20 mg escitalopram (n = 17) or a placebo (n = 15). After an intervention period of 3-5 weeks, participants underwent a [11C]UCB-J PET scan (29 with full arterial input function) to quantify synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) density in the hippocampus and the neocortex. Whereas we find no statistically significant group difference in SV2A binding after an average of 29 (range: 24-38) days of intervention, our secondary analyses show a time-dependent effect of escitalopram on cerebral SV2A binding with positive associations between [11C]UCB-J binding and duration of escitalopram intervention. Our findings suggest that brain synaptic plasticity evolves over 3-5 weeks in healthy humans following daily intake of escitalopram. This is the first in vivo evidence to support the hypothesis of neuroplasticity as a mechanism of action for SSRIs in humans and it offers a plausible biological explanation for the delayed treatment response commonly observed in patients treated with SSRIs. While replication is warranted, these results have important implications for the design of future clinical studies investigating the neurobiological effects of SSRIs.

Abstract
Approximately 40% of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) had limited response to conventional antidepressant treatments, resulting in treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a debilitating subtype that yielded a significant disease burden worldwide. Molecular imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT), can measure targeted macromolecules or biological processes in vivo. These imaging tools provide a unique possibility to explore the pathophysiology and treatment mechanisms underlying TRD. This work reviewed and summarized prior PET and SPECT studies to examine the neurobiology and treatment-induced changes of TRD. A total of 51 articles were included with supplementary information from studies for MDD and healthy controls (HC). We found that there were altered regional blood flow or metabolic activity in several brain regions, such as the anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, insula, hippocampus, amygdala, parahippocampus, and striatum. These regions have been suggested to engage in the pathophysiology or treatment resistance of depression. There was also limited data to demonstrate the changes in the markers of serotonin, dopamine, amyloid, and microglia over some regions in TRD. Moreover, several observed abnormal imaging indices were linked to treatment outcomes, supporting their specificity and clinical relevance. To address the limitations of the included studies, we proposed that future studies needed longitudinal designs, multimodal approaches, and radioligands targeting specific neural substrates for TRD to evaluate their baseline and treatment-related alterations in TRD. Adequate data sharing and reproducible data analysis can facilitate advances in this field.

Abstract
Mental disorders represent an increasing source of disability and high costs for societies globally. Molecular imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) represent powerful tools with the potential to advance knowledge regarding disease mechanisms, allowing the development of new treatment approaches. Thus far, most PET research on pathophysiology in psychiatric disorders has focused on the monoaminergic neurotransmission systems, and although a series of discoveries have been made, the results have not led to any material changes in clinical practice. We outline areas of methodological development that can address some of the important obstacles to fruitful progress. First, we point towards new radioligands and targets that can lead to the identification of processes upstream, or parallel to disturbances in monoaminergic systems. Second, we describe the development of new methods of PET data quantification and PET systems that may facilitate research in psychiatric populations. Third, we review the application of multimodal imaging that can link molecular imaging data to other aspects of brain function, thus deepening our understanding of disease processes. Fourth, we highlight the need to develop imaging study protocols to include longitudinal and interventional paradigms, as well as frameworks to assess dimensional symptoms such that the field can move beyond cross-sectional studies within current diagnostic boundaries. Particular effort should be paid to include also the most severely ill patients. Finally, we discuss the importance of harmonizing data collection and promoting data sharing to reach the desired sample sizes needed to fully capture the phenotype of psychiatric conditions.

An in vivo Pig Model for Testing Novel Positron Emission Tomography Radioligands Targeting Cerebral Protein Aggregates. Front Neurosci 2022; 16:847074.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) has become an essential clinical tool for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases with abnormal accumulation of proteins like amyloid-β or tau. Despite many attempts, it has not been possible to develop an appropriate radioligand for imaging aggregated α-synuclein in the brain for diagnosing, e.g., Parkinson’s Disease. Access to a large animal model with α-synuclein pathology would critically enable a more translationally appropriate evaluation of novel radioligands. We here establish a pig model with cerebral injections of α-synuclein preformed fibrils or brain homogenate from postmortem human brain tissue from individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or dementia with Lewy body (DLB) into the pig’s brain, using minimally invasive surgery and validated against saline injections. In the absence of a suitable α-synuclein radioligand, we validated the model with the unselective amyloid-β tracer [11C]PIB, which has a high affinity for β-sheet structures in aggregates. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI confirmed that the blood-brain barrier was intact. A few hours post-injection, pigs were PET scanned with [11C]PIB. Quantification was done with Logan invasive graphical analysis and simplified reference tissue model 2 using the occipital cortex as a reference region. After the scan, we retrieved the brains to confirm successful injection using autoradiography and immunohistochemistry. We found four times higher [11C]PIB uptake in AD-homogenate-injected regions and two times higher uptake in regions injected with α-synuclein-preformed-fibrils compared to saline. The [11C]PIB uptake was the same in non-injected (occipital cortex, cerebellum) and injected (DLB-homogenate, saline) regions. With its large brain and ability to undergo repeated PET scans as well as neurosurgical procedures, the pig provides a robust, cost-effective, and good translational model for assessment of novel radioligands including, but not limited to, proteinopathies.

Thalamic dopamine D2-receptor availability in schizophrenia: a study on antipsychotic-naive patients with first-episode psychosis and a meta-analysis. Mol Psychiatry 2022; 27:1233-1240. [PMID: 34759359 PMCID: PMC9054658 DOI: 10.1038/s41380-021-01349-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Pharmacological and genetic evidence support a role for an involvement of the dopamine D2-receptor (D2-R) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Previous molecular imaging studies have suggested lower levels of D2-R in thalamus, but results are inconclusive. The objective of the present study was to use improved methodology to compare D2-R density in whole thalamus and thalamic subregions between first-episode psychosis patients and healthy controls. Differences in thalamocortical connectivity was explored based on the D2-R results. 19 antipsychotic-naive first-episode psychosis patients and 19 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were examined using high-resolution Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and the high-affinity D2-R radioligand [11C]FLB457. The main outcome was D2-R binding potential (BPND) in thalamus, and it was predicted that patients would have lower binding. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in a subgroup of 11 patients and 15 controls. D2-R binding in whole thalamus was lower in patients compared with controls (Cohen's dz = -0.479, p = 0.026, Bayes Factor (BF) > 4). Among subregions, lower BPND was observed in the ROI representing thalamic connectivity to the frontal cortex (Cohen's dz = -0.527, p = 0.017, BF > 6). A meta-analysis, including the sample of this study, confirmed significantly lower thalamic D2-R availability in patients. Exploratory analyses suggested that patients had lower fractional anisotropy values compared with controls (Cohen's d = -0.692, p = 0.036) in the inferior thalamic radiation. The findings support the hypothesis of a dysregulation of thalamic dopaminergic neurotransmission in schizophrenia, and it is hypothesized that this could underlie a disturbance of thalamocortical connectivity.

No association between cortical dopamine D2 receptor availability and cognition in antipsychotic-naive first-episode psychosis. NPJ SCHIZOPHRENIA 2021; 7:46.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment is an important predictor of disability in schizophrenia. Dopamine neurotransmission in cortical brain regions has been suggested to be of importance for higher-order cognitive processes. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between extrastriatal dopamine D2-R availability and cognitive function, using positron emission tomography and the high-affinity D2-R radioligand [11C]FLB 457, in an antipsychotic-naive sample of 18 first-episode psychosis patients and 16 control subjects. We observed no significant associations between D2-R binding in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or hippocampus (β = 0.013–0.074, partial r = −0.037–0.273, p = 0.131–0.841). Instead, using Bayesian statistics, we found moderate support for the null hypothesis of no relationship (BFH0:H1 = 3.3–8.2). Theoretically, our findings may suggest a lack of detrimental effects of D2-R antagonist drugs on cognition in schizophrenia patients, in line with clinical observations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) has the potential for visualization and quantification of gastric emptying (GE). The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been recognized promising for constipation. This study aimed to establish a PET imaging method for noninvasive GE measurement and to evaluate the efficacy of a TCM on delayed GE caused by constipation using PET imaging. METHODS [68Ga]Ga-NOTA was synthesized as the tracer and sesame paste with different viscosity were selected as test meals. The dynamic PET scans were performed after [68Ga]Ga-NOTA mixed with test meals were administered to normal mice. Two methods were utilized for the quantification of PET imaging. A constipation mouse model was treated with maren chengqi decoction (MCD), and the established PET imaging scans were performed after the treatment. RESULTS [68Ga]Ga-NOTA was synthesized within 20 min, and its radiochemical purity was > 95%. PET images showed the dynamic process of GE. %ID/g, volume, and total activity correlated well with each other. Among which, the half of GE time derived from %ID/g for 4 test meals were 3.92 ± 0.87 min, 13.1 ± 1.25 min, 17.8 ± 1.31 min, and 59.7 ± 3.11 min, respectively. Constipation mice treated with MCD showed improved body weight and fecal conditions as well as ameliorated GE measured by [68Ga]Ga-NOTA PET. CONCLUSIONS A PET imaging method for noninvasive GE measurement was established with stable radiotracer, high image quality, and reliable quantification methods. The efficacy of MCD on delayed GE was demonstrated using PET.
