Mean fluorodopa F 18 (18F-dopa) uptake before and after interferon alfa therapy. Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus were administered 18F-dopa followed by positron emission tomography before and after 4 to 6 weeks of interferon alfa treatment. Mean images from the sample as a whole before and during interferon alfa administration indicate significantly higher uptake of 18F-dopa in caudate and putamen during interferon alfa treatment. The color bar represents the range of uptake values (Ki [1/min]) from 0 to 0.02.
