Kuhl, D E

A brief progress report is presented describing the preparation of /sup 11/C-scopolamine, /sup 17/F-fluoromethane and /sup 18/F-tetraalkylammonium fluoride. The application of /sup 11/C-scopolamine to map cholinergic receptors in normal human brain. Additional studies entitled ''The Automated Arterial Blood Sampling Systems for PET'' and ''Investigations of Array Processor Based High-Speed Parameter Estimation for Tracer Kinetic Modeling'' are also described.
