Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) studies of small animals benefits from the registration of the functional information they provide with accurate anatomic images provided by dedicated computed tomography (CT) scanners. These scanners have to achieve the micrometric resolution requirements needed to locate structures in small laboratory animals like mice and rats. This work reports on a prototype based on a solid state semiconductor X-ray sensor and a microfocus Xray source.
