Development of a novel small-animal myocardial phantom can evaluate the image quality of dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition (DISA)

ConclusionWe have developed a novel myocardial phantom for the rat model to evaluate the image quality for reproducing the physical phenomenon associated with radiation attenuation and scattering. Furthermore, we could demonstrate the usefulness of the novel small-animal myocardial phantom by image quality evaluation of DISA with99mTc and18F compared to SIA.
