  1. a[11C]Butanol is validated for clinical production but studies have not yet commenced. We do not expect clinically detectable pharmacological effects as the mass limit (≤125 μg/kg) was selected since it is 1000 times below the NOAEL (125 mg/kg, see: Wagner 2005); b combined mass of HED and metaraminol precursor must be ≤50 μg/subject; c [11C]LY2795050 is validated for clinical production but studies have not yet commenced at UM. We do not expect clinically detectable pharmacological effects as the mass limit (≤10 μg/subject) has been used without significant adverse events at other institutions (see: Naganawa et al. 2015); d See published limits (Yoshida et al. 1998); e [11C]OMAR is validated for clinical production but studies have not yet commenced at UM. We do not expect clinically detectable pharmacological effects as the mass limit (≤0.14 μg/kg) has been used without significant adverse events at other institutions (see: Wong et al. 2010); f Includes subjects numbers scanned for clinical care and research; g [18F]FDOPA is validated for clinical production but studies have not yet commenced. We do not expect clinically detectable pharmacological effects as the mass limit (≤15 μg/subject) is significantly less than administered masses historically used when employing the electrophilic synthesis of [18F]FDOPA (13 mg/62 kg subject, see: Chevalme et al. 2007)
