Performance Evaluation of a Preclinical SPECT Scanner with a Collimator Designed for Medium-Sized Animals

<div>Relation between the field of view (FOV) and the body sizes of a rabbit and a rat. (a) Representative chest SPECT images with [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-MIBI (hot metal color) of a rabbit and (b) a rat using a GP-MSA collimator fused with a corresponding CT image (black and white color). The field of view in the single-bed position for SPECT imaging (yellow dot box) covers the heart and lung regions of the rabbit and rat.</div>
