Measurements of drug occupancies using positron emission tomography (PET) can be biased if the radioligand concentration exceeds "tracer" levels. Negative bias would also arise in successive PET scans if clearance of the radioligand is slow, resulting in a carryover effect. We developed a method to (1) estimate the in vivo dissociation constant K<sub>d</sub> of a radioligand from PET studies displaying a non-tracer carryover (NTCO) effect and (2) correct the NTCO bias in occupancy studies taking ...[more]
