[18F]FP-R01-MG-F2 PET imaging of five healthy human volunteers. a Representative whole-body [18F]FP-R01-MG-F2 maximum intensity projection (MIP) PET images of a healthy volunteer (50-year-old male) show the biodistribution of PET tracer at ~ 5, 60, and 120 min post injection (p.i.). Focal uptake near the elbow and between the legs are the site of intravenous injection, and a tube containing the reference calibration standard, respectively. b Axial and coronal PET/CT images of the same healthy volunteer at 1 h p.i. Close-ups of the chest and abdominal regions show the heart (SUVmean ~ 0.9), liver (SUVmean ~ 0.8), lung (SUVmean ~ 1.3), pancreas (SUVmean ~ 1.9), stomach (SUVmean ~ 12.6), small intestines (SUVmean ~ 7.8), kidneys (SUVmean ~ 14.3), and bladder (5.9). Accumulation of the tracer is evident in the pituitary gland (SUVmean ~ 5). c H&E staining (top left) and integrin αvβ6 (top right and bottom) immunohistochemical analysis of healthy stomach and small bowel tissue, where uptake was relatively high (Supplementary Table 7, below), shows expression of integrin αvβ6 on the luminal (Lu) side of these organs. Scale bars on the 1x and 10x images represent 2.5 cm and 250 mm, respectively
