Conclusion
副本
The presented cardiac PET/CT protocol is useful for obtaining functional and morphological information in a variety of small animal models of cardiac disease. Advantages of PET/CT imaging as compared to other preclinical imaging modalities include

Here, we present an experimental imaging protocol for the quantification of cardiac function and morphology using high-resolution positron emission tomography/computed tomography for small animals. Both mice and rats are considered, discussing the different requirements of computed tomography contrast agents for the two species.
