About This Trial
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the TSPO PET signal (measured with the radioligand \[11C\]PBR28) in the lungs of patients living with PAH relative to age matched controls. If so, TSPO PET may be a useful technique to non-invasively monitor response to therapy. To do this, we will perform 2 \[11C\]PBR28 PET scans. The first will quantify the total \[11C\]PBR28 …
