Abstract:
In order to research the migration line after injection of the tracer to Zusanli acupoint.
18F-FDG or
18F-sodium fluoride was injected into Zusanli acupoint of the rats in doses of 0.03~0.1 mL (200~300 uCi). The microPET image and CT image were acquired respectively and fused together and reconstruction of 3D.
18F-FDG and
18F-sodium fluoride could show the migration line in meridian objectively, however, the
18F-sodium fluoride showed significant bone uptake.
18F-FDG was superior to
18F-sodium fluoride in meridians imaging. The results showed that
18F-FDG was more suitable for use in meridians imaging.
