Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameters are the binding potential and distribution volume of<br /><br>[18F]FES in the human brain, derived from kinetic modelling using an arterial<br /><br>input function, reference tissue modelling and an image derived input function.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
