The goal of this research study is to examine the endocannabinoid (eCB) function in vivo in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) by measuring cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) availability.
The investigators will image brain cannabinoid receptors using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and the radioligand \[11C\] OMAR, in healthy individuals and individuals diagnosed with opioid use disorder. Research participants may complete screening, MRI, PET scan and follow up visits.
