Abstract |
Small animal models are extensively utilized in the study of biomedical sciences. Current animal experiments and
analysis are largely restricted to in vitro measurements and need to sacrifice animals to perform tissue or
molecular analysis. This prevents researchers from observing in vivo the natural evolution of the process under
study. Imaging techniques can provide repeatedly in vivo anatomic and molecular information noninvasively. Small
animal imaging systems have been developed to assess biological process in experimental animals and increasingly
employed in the field of molecular imaging studies. This review outlines the current developments in nuclear
medicine imaging instrumentations including fused multi-modality imaging systems for small animal imaging.(Korean J Nucl Med 38(2):131-139, 2004) |
