Inveon pet spect ct

Manufactured by Siemens
Sourced in United States

The Inveon PET/SPECT/CT is a multimodal imaging system that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Computed Tomography (CT) technologies. It is designed to enable high-resolution, non-invasive imaging of small animals for research purposes.

5 protocols using inveon pet spect ct

1

Small Animal Micro-CT Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Micro‐computed tomography (CT) examinations were performed on a special small animal scanner (Inveon PET/SPECT/CT; Siemens) in the Core Facility Small Animal Imaging of DKFZ. The mice were anesthetized with sevoflurane (2.5% vol/vol) for immobilization. The total anesthetic duration per mouse was less than 60 minutes.

Histological Analysis of Carotid Arteries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty CEA tissues, 13 right (Rt) and 7 left (Lt) were scanned with a high-resolution micro-computed tomography (CT) (Inveon PET/Spect/CT, Siemens, PA, USA) using Inveon Research Workplace software (Siemens, Malvern, PA; additional details can be found elsewhere (11 (link))). The tissues were frozen in OCT compound (Sakura Finetek, Torrance, CA). The micro-CT images were used to guide the selection of frozen sections (10μm thick). Representative locations (internal/external, bulb and common segments) of the CEA tissues were collected. Depending on the size and extent of calcification, 5 to 10 different representative locations were selected along each tissue. Serial cross sections in that particular location were cut and stained with von Kossa’s reagent for calcium phosphate, Masson’s Trichrome reagent to distinguish collagen from fibrin, and Oil Red O reagent for lipids (Figure 1).

Quantitative Analysis of Femoral Trabecular Microarchitecture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The trabecular microarchitectures of the distal femoral metaphysis were analysed using SIEMENS Inveon PET.SPECT.CT (SIEMENS, Berlin, Germany). The femurs were harvested and preserved in 70% ethanol. The region of interest (ROI) was defined as a region 25–125 slices from the distal femoral growth plate. The thickness of a slice was 21 μm, and the voxel resolution was 22 μm 3 (link). Quantitative analyses of trabecular morphometric parameters, such as trabecula thickness (Tb.Th), trabecula number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), bone surface over bone volume (BS/BV) and bone volume to tissue volume (BV/TV), were conducted in VOI using the associated software package, with 3D images of the distal femurs reconstructed for visualization. All of the analyses were conducted by a blinded performer who did not know the treatments that the specimens received.

Femur Morphological Analysis via Preclinical PET/SPECT/CT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate morphological status in femurs, a Siemens preclinical Inveon PET/SPECT/CT (Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Knoxville, TN, USA) was utilized. The spatial resolution was set to 8.5 μm with a voxel size of 17.2× 17.2 × 17.2 (μm), and the tube voltage and current is 80 kV and 500 μA, respectively. The resolution was set to medium (1000 projections each), increment were set to 17.2 μm, and the region of interest area was 0.225 mm proximal to the growth plate, that is,100–250 layer proximal to the butterfly area. Three-dimensional imaging was performed using COBRA Exxim (licensed to Siemens). Morphological analysis was carried out using a Inecon Research Workplace, and various trabecular bone parameters were recorded, including bone specific surface (BS/BV; 1/mm), bone volume fraction (BV/TV; %), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th; μm), trabecular number (Tb.N; 1/mm), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp; μm) and trabecular bone pattern factor (Tb.Pf; 1/mm). The cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI) at the lower-middle third of the femur was also measured.

Structural Analysis of Murine Knee Subchondral Bone

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Excess muscle tissues were removed from the entire right knee joint of the mice and fixed in 10% formalin overnight. The specimens were scanned using a microcomputer (Inveon PET.SPECT.CT, Siemens). The images were scanned (Inveon Acquisition Workplace), reconstructed (COBRA_Exxim, Siemens), and further analyzed using the calculation software (Ineon Research Workplace). The X-ray current and voltage were set to 500 μA and 80 kV, respectively, and the resolution was 8.5 μm/μm/pixel. The sagittal view of the entire medial compartment of the tibial subchondral bone was used for the 3D histomorphometry analysis, and the parameters of bone volume/total tissue volume (BV/TV), subchondral bone plate thickness (SBP.Th), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) were analyzed.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
