First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tested a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-F13640 to see how well it can image certain brain receptors (5-HT1A) using PET scans. Twenty healthy volunteers took part to check how the tracer moves in the body and if the results are repeatable. The goal was to improve brain imaging for future research on neurological conditions, not to treat any disease.
