A Comparison of Imaging Techniques to Monitor Tumor Growth and Cancer Progression in Living Animals
Figure 1
Detection of tumors by in vivo imaging. B16 melanoma cells were subcutaneously injected into shaved C57Bl/6 mice ( mice for each technique). Mice were repeatedly imaged by: (a) FDG-PET, (b) T2W-MRI, (c) BLI, and (d) FLI. For each technique, a representative mouse is shown, and the smallest detected tumor is reported. Arrows indicate tumors. SUV, standardized uptake value.
