Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis methods [11C]-PK111-95 Binding Potential (BP) images will be generated based on a simplified reference tissue model4;13. Cluster analysis will be used to extract and identify a normal brain reference input function for individual PD cases. The reference tissue model will be compared to parametric analysis, using plasma input data and Logan analysis to generate distribution volume images. Pixel-by-pixel analysis will be done using Statistical Parametric Mapping program (SPM2)14. A coupled t-test will be applied to evaluate differences between the two scans. P-value of 0.001, uncorrected for multiple comparisons / 0.05 after correction will be taken for statistical significance. | — |
