Area of Science:

  • Biomedical imaging
  • Molecular imaging
  • Preclinical research

Background:

  • Multimodality imaging offers comprehensive biological insights.
  • Integrating multiple imaging techniques can overcome limitations of single modalities.
  • Advancements in molecular probes and imaging systems are crucial for preclinical studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel integrated quad-modality imaging system.
  • To assess the system's capability in simultaneously tracing multiple molecular probes in vivo.
  • To optimize imaging protocols for enhanced efficiency and reduced scan times.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a prototype system integrating Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Computed Tomography (CT), and Fluorescence Molecular Imaging (FMI).
  • Evaluation of imaging and fusion capabilities using a multimodality phantom.
  • In vivo experiments in a mouse disease model targeting three distinct biological processes using specific molecular probes: (18)F-FDG, (99m)Tc-3PRG2, and Cy7-entrapped polymeric nanoparticles.
  • Optimization of multimodal molecular imaging procedures to reduce total imaging time.

Main Results:

  • The quad-modality system's performance was validated through phantom and in vivo animal experiments.
  • Successful simultaneous tracing of three different molecular probes in living tissues was achieved.
  • The system, with optimized protocols, enabled differentiation of diseases not distinguishable by single imaging modalities.

Conclusions:

  • A novel quad-modality imaging system (PET, SPECT, FMI, CT) was successfully developed for small animal whole-body imaging.
  • The system provides comprehensive information for preclinical biomedical research.
  • Optimized protocols and novel tracers enhance the system's potential for studying physiological mechanisms at an unprecedented level.
