Excerpt
3-[
18F]Fluoro-
para-hydroxyphenethylguanidine (3-[
18F]pHPG) is a substrate of the norepinephrine transporter (NET) and the vesicular monoamine transporter isoform 2 (VMAT2) that localizes in presynaptic sympathetic nerve terminals in organs with high sympathetic innervation (e.g., heart, adrenal glands) in normal subjects [

2]. …
