ObjectiveTo evaluate the biodistribution of radiation-absorbed doses of13N-ammonia in healthy people.MethodsFive healthy human subjects underwent whole-body PET and CT scans after injection of 555–740 MBq of13N-ammonia. Five serial dynamic emission scans in each healthy volunteer were acquired. Regions of interest were drawn on the CT image and transferred to the corresponding transverse PET slice. Estimates of the radiation-absorbed doses were calculated using the medical internal radiation dosimetry method.ResultsThe highest concentrations of13N-ammonia were found in the heart and liver, followed by pancreas, brain, spleen and stomach. The highest absorbed organ doses were to the heart wall (7.14E−03 ± 3.63E−03 mGy/MBq) and kidneys (6.02E−03 ± 3.53E−03 mGy/MBq). The effective dose (ED) was 6.58E−03 ± 1.23E−03 mSv/MBq.ConclusionsWith these new estimates for13N-ammonia dosimetry, the results for Chinese people were not appreciably different from those of the previous study performed with old devices. As one of the most important myocardial perfusion PET tracers, the whole-body13N-ammonia PET appears to be safe for humans, yielding a relatively modest radiation burden that would allow multiple PET studies on the same subject per year.
