It has been demonstrated in vitro that the dopamine D(2) receptor has 2 interconvertible affinity states for endogenous dopamine, referred to as the high- and the low-affinity states. (11)C-(R)-2-CH(3)O-N-n-propylnorapomorphine ((11)C-MNPA) is a new agonist radioligand for in vivo imaging of the high-affinity state of dopamine D(2) receptors using PET. In the present study, the kinetics of (11)C-MNPA were examined for the first time, to our knowledge, in the human brain and analyzed using quantitative approaches with or without an arterial input function.
