The A(1)AR antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine ([F-18]CPFPX) has recently been shown to be a suitable radiotracer for quantitative in vivo imaging of the A(1) adenosine receptor (A(1)AR) in rats. The present study evaluates the reproducibility of non-invasive longitudinal A(1)AR studies with [F-18]CPFPX and a dedicated small animal positron emission tomography (PET) scanner.Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats underwent four repeated dynamic PET scans with a bolus injection of [F-18]CPFPX. A(1)AR availability was determined by different non-invasive approaches including simplified and multilinear reference tissue (olfactory bulb)-based models and graphical methods. The outcome parameter binding potential (BP) was evaluated in terms of variability and reproducibility.Repeated estimations of [F-18]CPFPX BP (ND) gave reliable results with acceptable variability (mean 12 %) and reproducibility (intraclass correlation coefficients raging from 0.57 to 0.68) in cortical and subcortical regions of the rat brain. With regard to kinetic models, test-retest stability of the simplified reference-tissue model (SRTM) was superior to multilinear and graphical approaches.Non-invasive quantification of A(1)AR density in the rat brain is reproducible and reliable with [F-18]CPFPX PET and allows longitudinal designs of in vivo imaging studies in rodents.
