Inveon/MicroPET core

Overview of Services

 

We have a Siemens Inveon imaging system (aka microPET) which provides small-animal PET, SPECT, and CT imaging on a common bed. PET resolution is ~1.5 mm, and field of view is 12 cm diameter x 12.7 cm axial, extendable with multi-bed mode. Images are fully quantitative and coregistered. CT component is a relatively slow step-and-shoot system with resolution down to at least 20 um.  The facility includes a dose calibrator for measuring dose, and a well counter and balance for measuring low activity samples such as blood, with both counters cross-calibrated to the PET.  Animal anesthesia, physiological monitoring, and heating is also available.  This is a core imaging service with hourly rates.


Hourly rates approved as of 8/1/2023
- self-use (unassisted): $69 internal, $82 external academic, $200 for-profit
- assisted:                   $132 internal, $155 external academic, $350 for-profit
