In a recent PET study, we demonstrated the ability to measure amphetamine- induced DA release in the human cortex with the relatively high affinity dopamine D-2/3 radioligand [C-11]FLB 457 (Narendran et al., [2009] Synapse 63: 447-461). The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility and reliability of [C-11]FLB 457 in the same imaging paradigm we used to measure amphetamine-induced DA transmission. Six healthy human subjects (three males/three females) were studied twice with [C-11]FLB 457, once at baseline and again 3 h following the end of the baseline scan. D-2/3 receptor binding parameters were estimated using a two-tissue compartment kinetic analysis in the cortical regions of interest and cerebellum (reference region). The test-retest variability and intraclass correlation coefficient were assessed for distribution volume (V-T), binding potential relative to plasma concentration (BPP), and binding potential relative to nondisplaceable uptake (BPND) of [(11) C] FLB 457. The test-retest variability of [C-11]FLB 457 V-T, BPP, and BPND were
