Resolution Studies of a New Small Animal PET System based on Scintillating Fibers

and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are widely used in the clinic and in the laboratory. The technique detects radiolabeled agents quantitatively at the picomolar level and detects normal and disturbed biochemical and physiological functions noninvasively and quantitatively that are not available otherwise. PET in animal models is a powerful technique capable of answering basic and applied questions in biology and pharmacology
