title: [Scintigraphy in the small animals using a human gamma camera--evaluation of bone scintigraphy in the rat mandible and maxilla].
abstract: In order to obtain clear scintigrams of small animals, some improvements were brought on a pinhole collimator. Then, using a human gamma camera with this collimator improved, bone scintigraphy was attempted in the rat mandible and maxilla, experimentally to examine the desirable conditions of scintigraphy. The most desirable bone scan images were obtained under the conditions that the pinhole was 1.5 mm in diameter, the distance between the collimator and the object was 0 cm, and the exposure was 400.
