Background:

  • Routine quality control (QC) is essential for maintaining high-performance small animal imaging instrumentation.
  • A robust QC program ensures reliable data for academic research and contract imaging services.
  • Preclinical imaging labs often face resource limitations, hindering the implementation of efficient QC programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present simplified quality control procedures for small animal imaging.
  • To provide accessible guidelines for preclinical imaging laboratories with limited resources.
  • To assist specialists in establishing effective routine QC programs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of simplified QC procedures tailored for small animal imaging.
  • Focus on accessibility for laboratories with varying resource levels.
  • Guidelines designed for routine implementation.

Main Results:

  • A series of simplified QC procedures are proposed.
  • These procedures are designed to be accessible to a wide range of preclinical imaging laboratories.
  • The guidelines aim to facilitate the establishment of minimum QC standards.

Conclusions:

  • Simplified QC procedures can enhance data reliability in preclinical imaging.
