[HTML][HTML] Translation of preclinical PET imaging findings: Challenges and motion correction to overcome the confounding effect of anesthetics

A Miranda, D Bertoglio, S Stroobants, S Staelens… - Frontiers in …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Preclinical brain positron emission tomography (PET) in animals is performed using anesthesia
to avoid movement during the PET scan. In contrast, brain PET scans in humans are …

[HTML][HTML] PET imaging of freely moving interacting rats

A Miranda, MS Kang, S Blinder, R Bouhachi, JP Soucy… - Neuroimage, 2019 - Elsevier
Awake rat brain positron emission tomography (PET) has previously been developed to avoid
the influence of anesthesia on the rat brain response. In the present work, we further the …

[HTML][HTML] Sapap3 deletion causes dynamic synaptic density abnormalities: a longitudinal [11C]UCB-J PET study in a model of obsessive–compulsive disorder-like …

D Glorie, J Verhaeghe, A Miranda, S De Lombaerde… - EJNMMI research, 2020 - Springer
