Editors:
Small-animal SPECT is a relatively new imaging tool that can aid in drug development, drug research, molecular imaging, and imaging science
Presents cutting-edge research in these areas as well as an overview of modern small-animal SPECT systems. Everything from the basic physics of SPECT imaging to animal studies are presented. Sections on animal handling, image quality assessment, and reconstruction algorithms are also included to help researchers design and run their own studies
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Small-Animal SPECT Imaging is an edited work derived from the first workshop on Small-Animal SPECT Imaging held January 14-16, 2004 at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA. The overall goal of the meeting and therefore this volume is to promote information exchange and collaboration between the research groups developing systems for small-animal applications. Topics include the biomedical significance of small-animal imaging, an overview of detector technologies including scintillation cameras and semi-conductor arrays, imager design and data acquisition systems, animal handling and anesthesia issues, objective assessment of image quality, and system modeling and reconstruction algorithms.
