Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging of the Cannabinoid Type 1 Receptor System with [C]OMAR ([C]JHU75528): Improvements in Image Quantification Using Wild-Type and Knockout Mice

In this study, we assessed the feasibility of using positron emission tomography (PET) and the tracer [ 11 C]OMAR ([ 11 C]JHU75528), an analogue of rimonabant, to study the brain cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor system. Wild-type (WT) andCB1 knockout (KO) animals were imaged at baseline and after p...
