12.5 PET Radioligands
forProstate Cancer Imaging
PET with choline tracers—labeled with 11C or
18
F—has historically found widespread use for the diagnosis of (metastatic) prostate cancer. However, choline metabolism is not increased in a substantial number of cases. When compared head-to-head, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT outperforms standard 18F-choline PET/CT, especially at low PSA levels [25].
Considering 68Ga labeled PSMA, a variety of agents is available with presumable very similar clinical value. 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA or 68Ga-PSMA-11 [26], and 68Ga-DOTATAGA­FFK, termed PSMA I&T [22] are frequently used. Variants labeled with 64Cu are available, especially considered if the supply with 68Ga is logistically demanding. 18F labeled PSMA PET tracers have already been evaluated, as
18
F-DCFBC [26], and have already reached the
market in Europe. Newer 18F labeled agents are
18
F-DCFPyL and 18F-PSMA-1007 [14]. A pos­sible advantage is less renal excretion which facilitates the evaluation of the prostate bed.
A different approach related to amino acid metabolism—the tracer mirrors the upregula­tion of transmembrane amino acid transport [27]—is applied by the use of 18F-uciclovine (18F-FACBC) to image prostate cancer tissue. One advantage is that kidney uptake of uci­clovine is negligible and no relevant activity in the urinary tract can be observed, see Fig.
12.12. As the method is relatively new,
Fig. 12.12 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT had been helpful to identify a local relapse of prostate cancer—due to the fact that there is no relevant uptake of this tracer in urine

clinical usefulness and superiority to cho­linePET have already been demonstrated [11,
28, 29], but equal clinical value compared
head-to-head to 68Ga-PSMA could not to be shown.
12.6 PET/CT Acquisition Protocols
In general, PET/CT images are obtained about 60min after i.v. bolus application of an activity of 200–250MBq 68Ga-PSMA [30] or 1.8–2.2 per kilogram bodyweight [31]. Sufcient hydration is recommended, the administration of diuret­ics—e.g. furosemide 20mg—is frequently used [31]. It has been shown that imaging 3h after
injection can reveal more lesions characteristic for prostate cancer with a higher uptake and con­trast [32]. Anyhow, practical considerations as patient management and the half-life of the tracer have to be kept in mind.
A diagnostic or low-dose CT scan is generally performed from base of the skull-base to mid­thigh [31], followed by acquisition of PET images according to the specic scanner and the manufacturer’s instructions. In our institution in Linz, we frequently perform additional late regional images, e.g. of the pelvis approximately 1h later when indicated after evaluation of the PET/CT images already acquired before. When using an 18F-PSMA tracer this approach is less frequently necessary, see Fig.12.13.

12.7 Variants andPitfalls
Comparable to the experience with 18F-FDG and
18
F-FET, the usage of 68Ga-PSMA revealed a growing body of evidence for pathological or marked uptake in diverse anatomical structures, in this case unrelated to prostate cancer. As a major goal of PSMA imaging is the detection of lymph node metastases, unspecic uptake in coeliac gan­glia was among the rst reported pitfalls [33]. The uptake of active granulomatous lesions in sarcoid­osis, especially in the lung, can appear quite impressive [4]. Paget’s disease has also been sug­gested as a potential clinical mimicker of bone
a
metastasis on PSMA-targeted PET imaging [4]. In general terms, augmented bone metabolism might be detected by moderate tracer uptake, as in post­fracture healing. A variety of benign etiologies for focal intense PSMA PET uptake have been pub­lished mostly in the form of case reports [34, 35].
A potential for specic oncologic imaging of different malignancies has also been presented, as for renal cell carcinoma [8] and hepatocellular carcinoma [36]. Of special interest is the marked uptake in endothelium in angiogenesis, which has been proven by immunohistochemical stain­ing. Thereby the imaging of primary brain glio­mas—see Fig.12.14—and brain metastases can

13.1 Tau PET Tracers
The protein tau was rst described in 1975 as a neuronal factor associated with the assembly and stability of microtubules [1]. Though additional functions have since been recognized for tau [2], its role in maintaining the microtubule-based cytoskeleton via binding to tubulin is regarded as

its primary function. In this respect, the activity of tau is mediated by its degree of phosphoryla­tion, with tau containing 2–3mol of phosphate per mol of the protein under physiological condi­tions [3]. Hyperphosphorylation of tau, however, decreases its ability to bind to microtubules [4] resulting in an increase in its cytosolic levels [5]. Following a shift from axonal to somatodendritic compartments, hyperphosphorylated tau, being an amyloid, then self-assembles into, among other aggregates, paired helical laments (PHFs) [6] and, subsequently neurobrillary tangles (NFTs). The accumulation of these pathological forms of tau is a common feature of several neu­rodegenerative disorders collectively referred to as tauopathies, of which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common. Recently, high afnity positron emission tomography (PET) tracers selective for tau aggregates were introduced, enabling the visualization, mapping, and quanti­cation of tau pathology invivo [
7].
The challenges inherent to imaging tau not­withstanding, considerable progress has been made over the past years with respect to the development of tau selective PET tracers. Though the rst PET tracer capable of binding tau aggre­gates—2-(1-(6-[(2-18F-fluoroethyl)(methyl) amino]-2-naphthyl)ethylidene) malononitrile (18F-FDDNP), a tracer with nanomolar afnity for amyloid-β shown also to bind to NFTs [8]— was rst reported nearly 20years ago, the devel­opment of tracers selective and specic for tau is

a comparatively recent development. Initial trac­ers include 18F-THK5317, 18F-THK5351,
18
F-ortaucipir (also known as 18F-AV1451 and
18
F-T-807), and 11C-PBB3. Used extensively in research studies, these compounds are now prop­erties, including 18F-MK-6240, 18F-RO948 (pre­viously referred to as 18F-RO69558948),
18
F-PI-2620, 18F-GTP1, 18F-PM-PBB3, 18F­JNJ64349311 (18F-JNJ311), and its derivative
18
F-JNJ-067 [7].
13.1.1 Synthesis
Given the number of tau PET tracers under devel­opment covered in this chapter, specics regard­ing synthesis strategies for all of these will not be covered. For 18F-ortaucipir, the by far most used tau tracer to date, several alternative methods for synthesis have been suggested and subsequently optimized, including synthesis from the N-Boc­protected nitro precursor [9], which eliminated the need for the reduction of the nitro precursor prior to purication that the original report required to facilitate purication of 18F-ortaucipir [10]. Holt etal. demonstrated 18F-uorination of N-Boc-protected trimethylammonium precursor by microwave irradiation [11] and recently an optimized fully automated synthesis of
18
F-ortaucipir was developed which uses an unmodied LIGAND Lab FXFN synthesis mod­ule [12]. As novel compounds become more used, similar optimization efforts will surely fol­low as has recently been the case for
18
F-MK-
6240 [13].
13.1.2 Pharmacokinetics
Initial tau tracers have been subject to extensive characterization using in vitro autoradiography and tau immunostaining, on both parafn and frozen AD brain tissue. Flortaucipir, THK5117, THK5351, and PBB3 (with the absence of labels reecting the use of different approaches—unla­beled as well as 11C, 18F, and 3H labeled—across studies) have all been shown to bind to neuro­brillary tangles (intracellular and extracellular
“ghost tangle” variants) as well as to neuritic plaques [
14]. Contradictory ndings, however,
have been reported for pretangles. In vitro bind­ing assays using tau brils or human brain homogenates and brain sections have shown cur­rent tau tracers to have favorable binding proper­ties (nanomolar range) and point to several binding sites. In vitro autoradiography studies in non-AD tauopathies [15, 16], most involving direct comparison with tau immunostaining, sug­gest that PBB3 and tracers of the THK family may be better able to detect non-AD tau, relative to ortaucipir.
Binding of tau PET tracers to non-tau targets (the so-called off-target binding) stands as an important and as yet unresolved challenge. Off­target binding of 18F-ortaucipir, 11C-PBB3, and the 18F-THK compounds has been reported pre­dominantly in the choroid plexus, the basal gan­glia, and the meninges [17]. While iron and neuromelanin have been proposed to underlie the signal from the basal ganglia [18, 19], binding in the choroid plexus has been attributed to the pres­ence of calcications, “on-target” binding to tangle- like structures (Biondi ring tangles), and melanocytes [17]. Other studies point to off­target binding to monoamine oxidase A (MAO­A, 18F-ortaucipir) [20] and B (MAO-B,
18
F-ortaucipir, and 18F-THK5317) [21]. Though novel tau tracers appear to be less affected, uptake in the ethmoid sinus, clivus, the meninges, and substantia nigra has been reported with 18F-MK­6240 and 18F-RO948in a small sample of AD patients and older cognitively unimpaired adults [22, 23].
Initial studies of the different tau PET tracers have shown that binding kinetics of tracer bind­ing to tau are well described by the two-tissue compartment model (2TCM) for most tracers [24–26]. While compartmental modeling pro­vides detailed insights into the binding character­istics, it is sensitive to noise and requires arterial blood sampling as well as long, fully dynamic PET acquisitions. More robust estimates of tracer retention can be achieved for the tau tracers using the plasma input Logan graphical model and— alleviating the need for arterial sampling—the reference input Logan graphical model using
