High resolution computed tomography in mice: 3D volume rendering of mouse  hindlimbs showing ectopic bone formation in the left femoral quadricep transduced with FG-B4TK  adenoviral vector.

PET-CT fusion images with 3D volume rendering and simultaneous display of areas of FLT uptake in a medulloblastoma murine model: a wider bone defect in the occipito-parietal portion of the skull is visibile in the ADV5 MOCK medulloblastoma, with higher [¹⁸F]-FLT uptake; in AdV5-199b transfected tumor, the size was smaller and radiotracer uptake was lower.
