Abstract:
The possibility of imaging tumors in live mice has opened new opportunities for cancer research, particularly regarding the ability to perform longitudinal studies in combination with a therapeutic intervention. Here, we detail methods to optimize visualization of murine tumors by positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and combined PET-CT. Curr. Protoc.
