Abstract:
Animal SPECT is an important research approach for translating preclinical to clinical study.It has been widely applied in drug development and the researches of physiology and diseases in small animal models.With the rapid progresses of hardware technology and algorithm of image reconstruction,the systemic sensitivity,spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy of animal SPECT have been greatly improved.Animal SPECT has great advantages over animal PET with the feasibility of study,the convenience acquisition of radiopharmaceuticals and relative low cost.In a certain period,animal SPECT will still be a main approach for preclinical researches of molecular imaging.
