Continuous Flushing of the Bladder in Rodents Reduces Artifacts and Improves Quantification in Molecular Imaging
In this study, we evaluated the partial volume effect (PVE) of 2-deoxy-2-[ 18 F]fluoro-D-glucose ( 18 F-FDG) tracer accumulation in the bladder on the positron emission tomographic (PET) image quantification in mice and rats suffering from inflammatory bowel disease. To improve the accuracy, we impl...
