Abstract
Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) mutations are an important marker for tumor-targeted therapy. In this study, we sought to develop a KRASG12C oncoprotein-targeted PET tracer and to evaluate its translational potential for noninvasive imaging of the KRASG12C mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods: [18F]PFPMD was synthesized on the basis of AMG510 (sotorasib) by attaching a polyethylene glycol chain to the quinazolinone structure. The binding selectivity and imaging potential of [18F]PFPMD were verified by cellular uptake, internalization, and blocking (H358: KRASG12C mutation; A549: non-KRASG12C mutation) studies, as well as by a small-animal PET/CT imaging study on tumor-bearing mice. Five healthy volunteers were enrolled to assess the safety, biodistribution, and dosimetry of [18F]PFPMD. Subsequently, 14 NSCLC or CRC patients with or without the KRASG12C mutation underwent [18F]PFPMD and [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging. The SUVmax of tumor uptake of [18F]PFPMD was measured and compared between patients with and without the KRASG12C mutation. Results: [18F]PFPMD was obtained with a high radiochemical yield, radiochemical purity, and stability. The protein-binding assay showed that [18F]PFPMD selectively binds to the KRASG12C protein. [18F]PFPMD uptake was significantly higher in H358 than in A549 and was decreased by pretreatment with AMG510 (H358 vs. A549: 3.22% ± 0.28% vs. 2.50% ± 0.25%, P < 0.05; block: 2.06% ± 0.13%, P < 0.01). Similar results were observed in tumor-bearing mice on PET imaging (H358 vs. A549: 3.93% ± 0.24% vs. 2.47% ± 0.26% injected dose/g, P < 0.01; block: 2.89% ± 0.29% injected dose/g; P < 0.05). [18F]PFPMD was safe in humans and was excreted primarily by the gallbladder and intestines. The whole-body effective dose was comparable to that of [18F]FDG. The accumulation of [18F]PFPMD in KRASG12C mutation tumors was significantly higher than that in non-KRASG12C mutation tumors (SUVmax: 3.73 ± 0.58 vs. 2.39 ± 0.22, P < 0.01) in NSCLC and CRC patients. Conclusion: [18F]PFPMD is a safe and promising PET tracer for noninvasive screening of the KRASG12C mutation status in NSCLC and CRC patients.

Abstract
Background [18F]F-FDG, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 have achieved good results in multiple clinical trials and clinical practice, but the imaging of these tracers is limited to traditional short-axis positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Therefore, we aimed to use total-body PET/CT dynamic scanning to describe whole-body biodistribution of these three tracers and to calculate more precise radiation doses. Methods Total-body PET/CT (uExplorer, United Imaging Healthcare) dynamic scanning was performed on 54 patients, including 30 patients with [18F]F-FDG, 10 patients with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, and 14 patients with [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04. A 60-minute dynamic scanning of whole body was performed simultaneously after bedside bolus injection of the corresponding tracers. The dynamic sequence of 92 frames was quantitatively analyzed by the Pmod4.0 software. Whole body biodistribution was calculated as time-activity curves (TACs) describing dynamic uptake patterns in the subject's major organs, followed by calculation of tracer kinetics and cumulative organ activity. Finally, combined with the OLINDA/EXM software, effective doses of the different tracers and individual organ doses were calculated. Results In a systematic TAC analysis of three tracers, we identified distinct biodistribution patterns in major organs. [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 showed a trend of rapid increasing and slow decreasing in liver, spleen, muscle, and bone. In the heart, stomach, brain, and lung, tracer decreased rapidly after rapid increasing. Similarly, tracer uptake in the kidney and urinary bladder increased gradually. [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 showed a rapid increasing and rapid decreasing trend in brain, lung, liver, spleen, bone, heart, kidney, and stomach. The mean effective dose of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 was 1.47E-02 mSv/MBq, and the mean effective doses of [18F]F-FDG and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 were comparable (2.52E-02 mSv/MBq and 2.23E-02 mSv/MBq). The mean effective dose of [18F]F-FDG was lower than that reported in the literature measured by previous short-axis PET, while both [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 had higher value than previously reported value. Conclusions [18F]F-FDG, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 have good biodistribution in human organs. Real-time high-sensitivity dynamic scanning with total-body PET/CT is a very effective way to accurately calculate biodistribution and effective dose of positron-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate how amyloid pathology affects the functional aspects of neurotransmitter systems in Alzheimer’s disease. APPswe/PS2 mice (21 months of age) and wild-type (WT) mice underwent positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). First, we obtained 18F-FDG and 18F-florbetaben PET scans to evaluate neuronal integrity and amyloid pathology. Second, 18F-FPEB and 18F-FMZ PET data were acquired to assess the excitatory-inhibitory neurotransmission. Third, to monitor the dopamine system, 18F-fallypride PET was performed. Amyloid PET imaging revealed that radioactivity was higher in the AD group than that in the WT group, which was validated by immunohistochemistry. In the cortical and limbic areas, the AD group showed a 25–27% decrease and 14–35% increase in the glutamatergic and GABAergic systems, respectively. The dopaminergic system in the AD group exhibited a 29% decrease in brain uptake compared with that in the WT group. A reduction in glutamate, N-acetylaspartate, and taurine levels was observed in the AD group using MRS. Our results suggest that dysfunction of the neurotransmitter system is associated with AD pathology. Among the systems, the GABAergic system was prominent, implying that the inhibitory neurotransmission system may be the most vulnerable to AD pathology.

Abstract
Nuclear imaging plays a unique role within diagnostic imaging since it focuses on cellular and molecular processes. Using different radiotracers and detection techniques such as the single photon emission scintigraphy or the positron emission tomography, specific parameters can be assessed: myocardial perfusion and viability, pulmonary perfusion, ventricular function, flow and shunt quantification, and detection of inflammatory processes. In pediatric and congenital cardiology, nuclear imaging can add complementary information compared to other imaging modalities such as echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging. In this state-of-the-art paper, we appraise the different techniques in pediatric nuclear imaging, evaluate their advantages and disadvantages, and discuss the current clinical applications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Efforts have been devoted to select eligible candidates for PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blocker (ICB) immunotherapy. Here, we have a serendipitous finding of positron emitting tomography (PET) imaging tracer 2-[18F]FDG as a potential immunomodulator. Therefore, we hypothesize that 2-[18F]FDG could induce PD-L1 expression change and create an immune-favorable microenvironment for tumor immunotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We designed a series of assays to verify PD-L1 upregulation, and tested immunotherapy regimens based on 2-[18F]FDG and anti-PD-L1 mAb, as monotherapy and in combination, in fully immunocompetent mice of MC38 and CT26 models. PD-L1 expression and tumor microenvironment (TME) changes were analyzed by western blot, transcriptomics study and flow-cytometric analysis. RESULTS PD-L1 was upregulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner after being induced by 2-[18F]FDG. The activation of NF-κB/IRF3 pathway and STAT1/3-IRF1 pathway play crucial parts in modulating PD-L1 expression after DNA damage and repair. Improved αPD-L1 mAb utilization rate and significant tumor growth delay were observed when the personalized therapeutic alliance of 2-[18F]FDG stimulation and ICB were employed. In addition, combination of 2-[18F]FDG with αPD-L1 mAb could reprogram a TME from "cold" to "hot", to make low immunoactivity tumors sensitive to ICB therapy. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this promising paradigm has the potential to expand the traditional tumor theranostics. [18F]FDG-based ICB immunotherapy is highly significant in enhancing anti-tumor effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare 99mTc-HMPAO-WBC-SPECT/CT combined with 99mTc-nanocollloid SPECT/CT and 18F-FDG-WBC-PET/CT combined with 99mTc-Nanocollloid SPECT/CT for the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI). METHODS Patients with suspected chronic PJI were examined with 99mTc-HMPAO-WBC SPECT/CT, 18F-FDG-WBC PET/CT, and 99mTc-nanocolloid SPECT/CT (to visualize bone marrow). The location and patterns of uptake were noted and compared between the two leukocyte examinations. Both leukocyte examinations were evaluated visually for infection. The PET examinations were also evaluated semiquantitatively. Chronic PJI was verified clinically by microbial culture and successfully treated PJI was confirmed by 12 months symptom-free follow-up after cessation of antibiotics. RESULTS Nineteen patients were included with 10 hip prostheses and nine knee prostheses. Fourteen were diagnosed with chronic PJI and five with successfully treated PJI. The sensitivity of visual evaluation of 99mTc-WBC-HMPAO SPECT/CT for all joints was 0.31 and for 18F-FDG-WBC PET/CT 0.38. The specificity was 0.80 and 0.83, respectively. All patients with a true-positive SPECT examination had a false-negative PET examination and vice versa. Semiquantitative evaluation of the hips gave an area under the curve of 0.905 using the iliac crest as the background. Semiquantitative evaluation of the knees did not produce significant results. CONCLUSION This pilot study showed no difference in the sensitivity or specificity of 99mTc-HMPAO-WBC SPECT/CT and 18F-FDG-WBC PET/CT when combined with 99mTc-nanocollloid SPECT/CT in the diagnosis or treatment evaluation of suspected late chronic PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the US, EU and elsewhere, basic clinical research studies with positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers that are generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) can often be conducted under institutional approval. For example, in the United States, such research is conducted under the oversight of a Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) as long as certain requirements are met. Firstly, the research must be for basic science and cannot be intended for immediate therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, or to determine the safety and effectiveness of the PET radiotracer. Secondly, the PET radiotracer must be generally recognized as safe and effective. Specifically, the mass dose to be administered must not cause any clinically detectable pharmacological effect in humans, and the radiation dose to be administered must be the smallest dose practical to perform the study and not exceed regulatory dose limits within a 1-year period. In our experience, the main barrier to using a PET radiotracer under RDRC approval is accessing the required information about mass and radioactive dosing. RESULTS The University of Michigan (UM) has a long history of using PET radiotracers in clinical research studies. Herein we provide dosing information for 55 radiotracers that will enable other PET Centers to use them under the approval of their own RDRC committees. CONCLUSIONS The data provided herein will streamline future RDRC approval, and facilitate further basic science investigation of 55 PET radiotracers that target functionally relevant biomarkers in high impact disease states.

Abstract
18F-FDG is the most commonly used radioisotope in PET scanning and is administered intravenously. When patients cannot cannulated, there are limited options available for functional tumour assessment. A fifty year old male presented for investigation of a suspected lung carcinoma identified during investigation of pneumonia. The patient had a severe needle phobia, intellectual disabilities and multiple co-morbidities which made cannulation impossible. An alternative administration method was sought, with successful oral administration occurring in both staging and restaging scans. The scans demonstrated resolution of a suspected lung cancer indicating it was an inflammatory/infective process, preventing the need for more invasive investigative approaches. A non-invasive and positive experience allowed for accurate diagnosis and repeat imaging for this patient, enabling follow up imaging to occur. It is reported that oral administration of 18F-FDG may be useful for assessment of suspected cancers for patients where cannulation isn't possible, when limitations are taken into consideration.
