In this study we investigated the influence of technical factors (positioning, background (BG) correction and attenuation correction) on qualitative and quantitative (absolute (AU) and relative (RU) uptake) assessment of feline kidneys with (99m)technetium labelled dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA). Eleven healthy adult cats were included. Influence of BG and depth correction on quantitative assessment was evaluated.

Estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a useful tool in the evaluation of kidney function in feline medicine. GFR can be determined by measuring the rate of tracer disappearance from the blood, and although these measurements are generally performed by multi-sampling techniques, simplified methods are more convenient in clinical practice. The optimal times for a simplified sampling strategy with two blood samples (2BS) for GFR measurement in cats using plasma (51)chromium ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid ((51)Cr-EDTA) clearance were investigated.

Unlabelled: The serotonergic system has been implicated in emotional and cognitive functions since early work. In particular, an important role has been attributed to the 5-HT2A receptor in schizophrenia, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety. The aim of the study was to evaluate the involvement of the brain 5-HT2A receptor in dogs with severe anxiety disorder, using 123I-5I-R91150 and SPECT.
