Tc-99m Myoview Gated Rat Heart
Univ. of Ottawa Heart Institute | Rat, SPECT only, Dynamic/Gated, Tc-99m
  Comments
  A rat was injected with ~75 MBq (2 mCi) of Tc-labeled Myoview and imaged 30 minutes post-injection for 1 hour. The rat was anesthetized using Isofluorane and exhibited a stable heart rate of ~250 BPM. Rejection rate was near zero and only a slight decrease in heart rate was observed (and adjusted for) over the course of the acquisition.

Dynamic Mouse Tumor (In-111, movie)
Queen Mary's, London | Mouse, SPECT/CT, Dynamic/Gated, In-111
  Comments
  Bioscan's Image of the Month May:
A nude mouse with a pancreatic tumor on its right shoulder.
Injected with an 30 MBq (0.8 mCi) of In-111 labeled monomer.
Scan range - 35.4mm (just the heart and the tumor were scanned).
In total 24 scans, just below 5 minutes each, where performed, summing up to a 2 hour acquisition time.

I-131 High Energy Mouse Tumor Scan
Molecular Insight Pharmaceutical | Mouse, I-131
  Comments
  Male, NCR-Nude mouse bearing SKMEL3 tumor on left flank.

Special apertures used to shield high energy (365 keV) photons of I-131 and advanced reconstruction software used to produce artifact free, high-resolution images.

Injected dose only 87 µCi (3 MBq) of I-131 MIP-1145 i.v. as treatment of melanoma.
Imaged 24 hours post injection, 80 minutes total acquisition time, due to very low activity.

Imaged at the University of New Mexico.

Rabbit SPECT Scan (In-111, parallel hole collimation)
University of New Mexico | Other Species, SPECT only, In-111
  Comments
  2.6 mCi of In-111 Dotatoc was injected into a 1.5 kg, male rabbit. An 18-minute acquisition was started 5 minutes post injection using an LEUHR collimator on a NanoSPECT/CT.
Reconstructions were performed with the Scivis ReSPECT parallel-hole reconstruction software.

Mouse Bone/Thyroid Dual-Isotope Scan (Fusion, Tc-99m, I-123)
University of New Mexico | Mouse, SPECT/CT, Dual-Isotope, Tc-99m, I-123
  Comments
  As published by the Molecular Imaging Center for Excellence newsletter, SNM publication Volume 2, 2008-1:

Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) of a dual-isotope (Tc-99m and I-123) SPECT/CT mouse study. All combinations of fusions of CT with Tc-99m- and I-123-SPECT are shown here.

Please note in particular, that the energy resolution of the NanoSPECT is good enough to resolve Tc-99m (140.5 keV) and I-123 (159.0 keV) while still providing the high sensitivity.

Injected activities:
Tc-99m/MDP: 1mCi
I123/LabeledCompound: 200 uCi

Scan times:
CT : 7.5 min
SPECT: 40 min
(both isotopes imaged simultaniously)

Original publication: 2007-02-26

Animated movie is available here [87].

PET-CT Mouse FDG Scan (MIP movie)
University of New Mexico | Mouse, PET
  Comments
  This mouse was measured in the CT of a NanoSPECT/CT (45 kVp, 180 prj, 1s exposure, 6 minute acquisition) and then transferred to a small-animal PET system, where it was measured 30 minutes post injection of 322 µCi FDG in 110µl for 30 minutes (1 bed position).

Thanks to the dedicated Minerve animal handling system, which can be mounted on both systems, both modalities could be registered easily in the InVivoScope post-processing software.

Special Thanks to Ben Gershman for the co-registration.
