- Evaluation of the reference tissue models for PET and SPECT benzodiazepine binding parametersPhilippe Millet
Division de Neuropsychiatrie, Unité de Neuroimagerie Psychiatrique, Hopitaux Universitaires de Geneve, Geneva, Switzerland
Neuroimage 17:928-42. 2002..It seems that the physiological values found in gray matter structures using these radioligands give acceptable BP values. We conclude that the reference tissue methods should be carefully evaluated for each radioligand...
- Wavelet analysis of dynamic PET data: application to the parametric imaging of benzodiazepine receptor concentrationP Millet

Neuroimage 11:458-72. 2000..The use of the wavelet-based filtering method can be extended far beyond the multi-injection protocol. It is likely to be also effective for other dynamic PET studies...
- Innately low D2 receptor availability is associated with high novelty-seeking and enhanced behavioural sensitization to amphetamineBenjamin B Tournier

- Concentrations of Gd-BOPTA in cholestatic fatty rat livers: role of transport functions through membrane proteinsCatherine M Pastor
Laboratoire de Physiopathologie Hépatique et Imagerie Moléculaire, Hopitaux Universitaires de Geneve, Geneva, Switzerland
Contrast Media Mol Imaging 8:147-56. 2013..Understanding how ¹⁵³Gd-BOPTA accumulates in hepatocytes is then complex. However, such understanding is important to analyze liver imaging with hepatobiliary contrast agents in cholestatic fatty livers...
- SPECT quantification of benzodiazepine receptor concentration using a dual-ligand approachPhilippe Millet
Psychiatric Neuroimaging Unit, Division of Neuropsychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, University Hospitals of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
J Nucl Med 47:783-92. 2006..In this study, we applied a dual-ligand protocol using the unlabeled ligand flumazenil, which lacks pharmacologic effects, to quantify all binding parameters of the benzodiazepine receptor-(123)I-iomazenil interactions...
- Chloramphenicol decreases brain glucose utilization and modifies the sleep-wake cycle architecture in ratsMarcelle Moulin-Sallanon
