PET Quantification of Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism in Small Animals
Figure 4
Functional images (“pseudo” CBF and CMRO2) of normal and infarction rat brains (Wistar rats, male, 8 weeks old). T2 weighted MR images are shown as a position reference. PET scans were performed during continuous administration of 15O-CO2 and 15O-O2 gases by spontaneous respiration of rats under isoflurane anesthesia.
