Abstract: Micro positron emission computed tomography (PET) is a sort of tomography technique specifically for small animal studies. It can be used to observe radionuclide labeling molecules in vivo, especially for neuronal activities noninvasively, dynamically and quantitatively at the molecular level. MicroPET can be used for early detection of atherosclerotic plaques, measurement of cerebral blood flow, judgment of the survival status in cerebral ischemia area in animal model. It is important for the control of risk factors, disease diagnosis, disease staging and evaluation of curative effect.

Key words: micro positron emission computed tomography, cerebral ischemia, animal model, review
