Radiochemical yield (RCY) and purity (RCP) were measured using size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and radio-thin layer chromatography (radio-TLC). Characterization of the non-radioactive isotope 90Zr-labeled FH was performed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Simultaneous PET-MR phantom imaging was performed with different 89Zr-FH concentrations. The MR quantitative image analysis determined the contrast-enhancing properties of FH. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of the line spread function (LSF) were calculated before and after co-registering the PET and MR image data.Results: High RCY (92%) and RCP (98%) of the [ 89Zr]Zr-FH product was achieved. TEM analysis confirmed the 90Zr atoms adsorption onto the SPION surface (≈ 10% average radial increase). Simultaneous PET-MR scans confirmed the capability of the [ 89Zr]Zr-FH nano-platform for this multi-modal imaging technique. Relative contrast image analysis showed that [ 89Zr]Zr-FH can act as a dual-mode T1/T2 contrast agent. For co-registered PET-MR images, higher spatial resolution (FWHM enhancement ≈ 3) and SNR (enhancement ≈ 8) was achieved at a clinical dose of radio-isotope and Fe.Conclusion: Our results demonstrate FH is a highly suitable SPION-based platform for chelate-free labeling of PET tracers for hybrid PET-MR. The high RCY and RCP confirmed the robustness of the chelate-free HIR technique. An overall image quality gain was achieved compared to PET- or MR-alone imaging with a relatively low dosage of [ 89Zr]Zr-FH. Additionally, FH is suitable as a dual-mode T1/T2 MR image contrast agent.Keywords: SPIONs, HIR, radiolabeling, MRI, PET, multimodal imagingGholami YHYuan HWilks MQMaschmeyer RNormandin MDJosephson LEl Fakhri GKuncic ZDove Medical Pressarticlespionshirradiolabelingmripetmultimodal imaging.Medicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1253-1266 (2020)
