Published in Medical Imaging Business Week, February 19th, 2009

According to a study from Clermont-Ferrand, France, "This study aimed to report the first single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging of articular cartilage in mice using Tc-99m-NTP 15-5 radiotracer. Mice intravenously injected with Tc-99m-NTP 15-5 were submitted to (1) dynamic planar imaging, (2) static planar imaging, (3) 1 min pinhole SPECT acquisition, and (4) dissection."

"Tomographic reconstruction of SPECT data was performed with a three-dimensional ordered subset expectation maximization algorithm, and slices were reconstructed in three axes. Tc-99m-NTP 15-5 rapidly accumulated in the joint, with a peak of radioactivity being reached from 5...
