Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technique widely used in oncology. Decay of the tracer emits positrons, which annihilate in the nearby tissue. Two gamma quanta with the energy 511 keV are produced by positron annihilation and allow one to reconstruct the annihilation vertex and distribution of the tracer activity in the body of the patient. I developped an...

Preclinical behavior neuroimaging gathers simultaneous assessment of behavior and functional brain imaging. This complementarity is seen as a critical step for comparing animal to human behavior and consequently assess the validity of preclinical studies in drug development. Achieving such a combination is difficult, anaesthesia or restraints inherent to micro-PET imaging precludes its use...
