Low-Dose Imaging in a New Preclinical Total-Body PET/CT Scanner

Low-Dose Imaging in a New Preclinical Total-Body PET/CT Scanner

Ionizing radiation constitutes a health risk to imaging scientists and study animals. Both PET and CT produce ionizing radiation. CT doses in pre-clinical in vivo imaging typically range from 50 to 1,000 mGy and biological effects in mice at this dose range have been previously described. [18F]FDG b...
