  3. APPROACH Transgenic mouse model APOE-/- mice Spontaneous growth of atherosclerotic plaques accelerated by fatty diet Imaging agent 99mTc-HYNIC-Annexin-V Binds to apoptotic cells Imaging techniques High-resolution pinhole SPECT 99mTc-Annexin-V SPECT images Excised aorta from 37 weeks mouse Plaque? ApomateTM: Trade name for Hynic Annexin V, North American Scientific, Inc. ApoE-/- mice 20 weeks Photo autoradiography

  4. 0.38 mm W pinhole, M=3.3, CsI:Tl array 1 mm step 0.9 capillars, 1.3 mm step 1.1 capillars, 1.5 mm step 0.9 mm 99mTc capillars, 1.3 mm step Spatial resolution: 0.55 mm !! FWHM 1.05 mm 1.3 mm

  5. Other simulations done for the CsI(Na) option evaluation….

  6. summarizing CsI(Na) is an interesting option. Unfortunately arrays with pixels smaller than 0.8 mm pitch cannot be built. It is igroscopic, so a window is needed (with spatial resolution degradation) or the integral line layout has to be used. Careful evaluation of the different options has to be done validating the simulations by measurements first. Then, decision to be taken on the SNR evaluation base looking at the specific application Tradeoff spatial resolution/efficiency/ energy resolution

  7. Scaling down (100 mm , 1 mm pitch ---> 50 mm 0.5 mm pitch) Rt Rt=0.1mm FOV FOV~5mm  sensitivity Trading off… Choosing the right M to get the best compromise between FOV, Rt and sensitivity For example, to improve Rt, just sacrify FOV getting at the same time better sensitivity
