Evaluation of the biodistribution of [18F]-labeled carbon dots
Carbon dots are spherical, nontoxic, biocompatible and discrete particles that have gained tremendous interest over the last years because of their ultra-compact nanosize, favourable biocompatibility and versatile surface engineering properties. They show significant potential for use in cellular imaging, biosensing, targeted drug delivery, theranostics and other biomedical applications.

Quantitative cardiac gated PET imaging
In cardiac research, non-invasive measurement of left ventricular end-systolic (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a useful tool to evaluate and monitor cardiac function in health and disease.

Brain imaging in rats and mice
PET-MR imaging provides unique and complimentary functional and anatomical information. The exceptional sensitivity of PET, combined with the excellent soft tissue contrast provided by MRI can be particularly beneficial when quantification of the PET signal requires delineating volumes of interest in an area where the CT image does not provide sufficient tissue contrast, e.g. in neurology applications.

In vivo visualisation of vessel formation in peritoneal tumor scaffolds with µCT – poster EMIM 2017
To study drug penetration and its influencing factors, reliable in vivo models that mimic peritoneal carcinomatosis are crucial. By applying tissue engineering we successfully biomimicked a peritoneal ovarian tumor and its environment in mice. Functional blood vessel formation was evaluated with contrast enhanced µCT.

Application note: Influence of animal handling on [18F]FDG uptake
It has been demonstrated that the animal handling protocol might influence 18F-FDG uptake in rodents. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the animal handling protocol during study set up. This application note gives an overview of the different animal handling protocols and their outcomes.

The β-CUBE, a high-end compact preclinical benchtop PET for total body imaging (SNMMI, 2017)
To further improve preclinical PET, new systems should improve spatial resolution and sensitivity. Ideally this is obtained without increasing the total cost of the system. Based on monolithic scintillators with highly sampled readout and Depth-Of-Interaction capability, MOLECUBES developed a compact preclinical PET system, called the β-CUBE. Here, we report on the design, the specifications, performance evaluation and in-vivo imaging results.
