PET/CT sequence of images (CT, PET and PET/CT) of a rat with a myocardial infarct following injection of [18F]FDG administered via bolus injection into the tail vein. High [18F]FDG tracer uptake is seen in the heart as well as the discharge in the bladder. Panel A displays the CT (X-ray) anatomical information. Panel B shows the PET image (functional information). Panel C displays the PET/CT fused images. Scale shows CT Hounsfield units (HU) and PET tracer uptake in kBq/ml. McDougald W. PET/CT.
