Inflammation imaging in ferrets
University of New Mexico | Other Species, SPECT/CT, In-111

A cohort of ferrets was induced with the flu in an attempt to visualize uptake of radiotracer in the sinuses. In this trial experiment 590uCi of In-111 (green) labeled with an inflammation targeting agent were injected. A fast, 7-minute CT acquisition was acquired over a 230mm scan range followed by a 20-minute SPECT acquisition. In-111 uptake in the trachea, heart, and lymphatic regions is clearly visible. Note also the striations visible in the ferret's trachea.
