[18F]3F4AP in a human subject after mild incomplete spinal cord injury.

Caption

[18F]3F4AP in a human subject after mild incomplete spinal cord injury. (A) Maximum-intensity projection (MIP), sagittal, and coronal CT images showing laminectomies at T10–T12. Selected regions of interest for segmentation of spinal cord are shown for both sagittal and coronal views. (B) T2-weighted (T2w) MR sagittal and axial images showing spinal lesion. (C) Early PET sagittal images showing high PET signal in cord around injury and quantification 0–10-min SUV at selected spinal segments. (D) Late PET sagittal images showing increased PET signal in cord around injury and quantification of 75–106-min SUV at selected spinal segments. For both early and late PET, axial images at T8, T12, and L1 are shown.
