Performance Evaluation of a Preclinical SPECT Scanner with a Collimator Designed for Medium-Sized Animals

<div>Dynamic [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-MIBI SPECT data of a rabbit’s thorax. (a) Transaxial dynamic SPECT images at the level of the heart during 5 min after intravenous injection. (b) Time activity curves of the myocardium and blood pool during a 5 min dynamic scan. a.u.: arbitrary unit. (c) Fusion image at the (CT-based) level of the myocardium and static SPECT image during 15-45 min after tracer injection.</div>
