Abstract :
The animal model of multiple pinhole single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) combined with cone beam computerised tomography (CBCT), which is one of choices among the animal imaging facilities is developed and tested. It is shown that multi-pinhole SPECT-CBCT is a very powerful dual-modal imaging system that is not only for animal imaging tool, but also for human imaging to know more about a disease. Hence, the system developed can be very important in the near future.
