11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) catalyzes enzymatic conversion of cortisone into the stress hormone cortisol. This first-in-human brain imaging study characterizes the kinetic modeling and test-retest reproducibility of [<sup>18</sup>F]AS2471907, a novel PET radiotracer for 11β-HSD1. Eight individuals underwent one 180-min (<i>n</i> = 4) or two 240-min (<i>n</i> = 4) [<sup>18</sup>F]AS2471907 PET brain scans (12 total) acquired on the high-resolution research tomograph (HRRT) ...[more]
