Small-animal PET refers to imaging of animals such as rats and mice using dedicated PET
scanners. Small-animal PET has been used extensively in modern biomedical research. It …

Small animal research is an essential tool in studying both pharmaceutical biodistribution
and disease progression over time. Furthermore, through the rapid development of in vivo …

More than ten years ago, several research groups started to develop Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) systems dedicated to animal studies. The growing interest in pre-clinical …

A considerable limitation of current small-animal PET/CT imaging is the low throughput of
acquisitions. Consequently, to sufficiently power a study, high costs accumulate. Together …

A full-ring PET insert device should be able to enhance the image resolution of existing
small-animal PET scanners. Methods: The device consists of 18 high-resolution PET …

We developed a prototype small-animal PET scanner based on depth-encoding detectors
using dual-ended readout of small scintillator elements to produce high and uniform spatial …

The microPET Focus is the latest generation microPET system dedicated to high-resolution
animal imaging and incorporates several changes to enhance its performance. This study …

MicroPET is a high resolution positron emission tomography (PET) scanner designed for
imaging small laboratory animals. It consists of a ring of 30 position-sensitive scintillation …

Dedicated small animal positron emission tomography (PET) systems are increasingly
prevalent in industry (eg for preclinical drug development) and biological research. Such …

The standardization of preclinical imaging is a key factor to ensure the reliability,
reproducibility, validity, and translatability of preclinical data. Preclinical standardization has …
