Fluspidine is a fluorine-18 ( 18 F) labeled radiotracer used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans to image σ 1 (sigma-1) receptors in the brain and other tissues. Sigma-1 receptors are proteins involved in many neurological and psychiatric processes. They have been linked to pain modulation, psychosis, Alzheimer's disease, and depression.
