Radiation Dosimetry of β-Amyloid Tracers ¹¹C-PiB and ¹⁸F-BAY94-9172

Abstract

The estimated organ doses for 11C-PiB were comparable to those reported in earlier research. With the doses used in published studies (300-700 MBq), the EDs would range from 1.6 to 3.7 mSv. The ED of 18F-BAY94-9172 was 30% lower than that of 18F-FDG and, at the published dose of 300 MBq, would yield an ED of 4.4 mSv. The dosimetry of both Abeta radioligands is suitable for clinical and research applications.
