More recently, advanced versions of these same technologies have begun to be used across the breadth of modern biomedical research to study non-invasively small laboratory animals in a myriad of experimental settings. In this report, we describe some of the new instruments and techniques that make these measurements possible and illustrate, with a few examples, the potential power of these methods in modern biomedical researchapplication/pdfeng©ElsevierSmall animal imagingPositron Emission Tomography (PET)Single photon emission computed tomographyPlanarMouse and rat modelsresearch articleBiología y Biomedicina10.1016/S0895-6111(00)00057-4open access79286Computerized medical imaging and graphics25
