Summary
[18F]FTC-146 is a sigma-1 receptor detector and is an experimental radiotracer. Several
studies have implicated involvement of sigma-1 receptors in generation and perpetuation of
chronic pain conditions, while others are investigating anti sigma-1 receptor drugs for
treatment of chronic pain. Using [18F]-FTC-146 and PET/MRI, we hope to learn what is the best
approach to identify the source of pain generation and characterize the disease in pediatric
patients with chronic pain.
