Small-animal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with focused multi-pinhole collimation geometries allows scanning modes in which large amounts of photons can be collected from specific volumes of interest. Here we present new tools that improve targeted imaging of specific organs and tumours, and validate the effects of improved targeting of the pinhole focus.

    We report the effectiveness of a multi-targeted chemo-switch schedule (C-S) that combines metronomic chemotherapy (MET) after treatment with the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). We tested this schedule with gemcitabine in two distinct human pancreatic adenocarcinoma orthotopic models and with cyclophos...
