OBJECTIVE A thyroid rat model combining functional and anatomical information would be of great benefit for better modeling of thyroid physiology and for absorbed dose calculations. Our aim was to show that (124)I-PET and CT small animal imaging are useful as a combined model for studying thyroid physiology and dose calculation. METHODS Seven rats were subjects for multiple thyroid (124)I-ima...

Veterinary diagnostic imaging has grown tremendously in the past 10 years. Digital radiology and cross sectional imaging modalities like ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have profoundly improved our ability to diagnose many small animal diseases. Digital radiography improves image quality while at the same time making radiographs easy to make and share ...
