Remote controlled miniaturized radiotracer injection device for dynamic PET imaging in free running small animals. University of Antwerp
In this project, a miniaturized injection device will be developed. The injection device will be carried by a rat and will be operated by remote control to perform an intravenous bolus injection (0.5 ml / min) in the rat via a catheter in the jugular vein. The injection device will be used for the injection of a radio-tracer into the animal while being in the scanner during the dynamic brain imaging of awake, free-running animals. Since access ...
