Better than cocaine for your PET? The radiotracer [ 18 F]PR17.MZ shows high in vitro and in vivo selectivity to the dopamine transporter. Its extraordinarily rapid pharmacokinetic profile is demonstrated in a μPET imaging study. The relatively long half‐life of the fluorine‐18 label is an added advantage over short‐lived (−)‐ N ‐[ 11 C]cocaine PET ligands.
