A 300 gram rat was injected with 100 µCi of
RTI-551
via the tail vein. At 4-5 hours post injection it was
imaged while fully awake with NeuroPhysics’
MollyQ-50 desktop scanner using a special animal
holder2.
The upper images show the uptake of RTI-55 in the
striata while the lower images show a strong uptake
in the retina. These images are selected from a total
of 75 slices acquired in about 45 minutes at 400 µm
slice spacing3.
The total activity in the striata is only 80
nanoCi!
