Summary:During the last decades, small animal imaging has shown an increasing interest in Single Photon Computed Tomography since animal models can mimic human diseases enabling a translation of results and conclusions of research done on animals to humans. SPECT equipped with a pinhole type collimator provides high resolution for in vivo imaging leading to an accurate quantitative measurement especially in small volume of interest.
