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

Quantitative lung capacity evaluation in a gravid lizard
University of New Mexico | Other Species, CT only, Segmentation
  Comments
  A CT study was performed to quantify the reduction in usable lung capacity in a lizard as a result of gravidity. CT data were acquired late in the gravidity of the lizard and again immediately after the laying of the eggs. Whole-body, six-minute (180 projections/rotation, 1 second per projection) acquisitions were performed in both cases. In the image, the chart displays the quantified change in lung volume (a series of 8-slice, anatomically-based, sub-regions of the lung were used for overall lung volume estimation) as a function of gravidity. The image on the right displays the lung region of the lizard in a gravid state while the imaging the left displays the lung region of the same animal post-gravidity.

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.
