From: A novel rabbit fixator made of a thermoplastic mask for awake imaging experiments
PET-CT scan for a rabbit restrained by the novel fixator. (a): The CT localization image showed the overall morphology of the fixator and the rabbit under the X-ray; the rabbit cannot move when it is restrained. (b): The coronal CT scan indicated that each organ of the rabbit showed well, with no metal or motion artifacts. (c): The PET image showed the 18F-FDG images of all the organs of the rabbit that was restrained by the fixator (time point: 30 min). (d): The PET/CT fusion image had perfect image quality. (e): The fusion image of the dual-phase CT(before and after PET scanning (Pseudo color)) showed that the dual-phase CT images matched well except for a slight ghosting of the abdomen (red arrow).
