Evaluation of mouse tail-vein injections both qualitatively and quantitatively on small-animal PET tail scans.
UNLABELLED Quantitative small-animal PET of mice requires successful delivery of radiotracers into the venous system. Intravenous injection of radiotracers via lateral tail veins is the most commonly used method of administration and can be technically challenging. Evaluation of the quality of an intravenous injection is necessary to determine whether small-animal PET is quantitatively accurate...
متن کاملQuantifying and correcting for tail vein extravasation in small animal PET scans in cancer research: is there an impact on therapy assessment?
BACKGROUND Tail vein injection under short anesthesia is the most commonly used route for administering radiopharmaceuticals. However, the small caliber of the vein in rodents may lead to tracer extravasation and thereby compromise quantitative accuracy of PET. We aimed to evaluate a method for correction of interstitial radiotracer leakage in the context of pre-clinical therapeutic response as...
متن کاملStrength of tail dependence based on conditional tail expectation
We use the conditional distribution and conditional expectation of one random variable given the other one being large to capture the strength of dependence in the tails of a bivariate random vector. We study the tail behavior of the boundary conditional cumulative distribution function (cdf) and two forms of conditional tail expectation (CTE) for various bivariate copula families. In general, ...
متن کاملSmall animal PET imaging.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is well established as an important research and clinical molecular imaging modality. Although the size differences between humans and rodents create formidable challenges for the application of PET imaging in small animals, advances in technology over the past several years have enabled the translation of this imaging modality to preclinical applications. In ...
