Quantitative accuracy of preclinical in ovo PET/MRI: influence of attenuation and quantification methods by Theresa Balber, Katarína Benčurová, Manuela Mayrhofer, Joachim Friske, Martin Haas, Claudia Kuntner, Thomas H. Helbich, Marcus Hacker, Markus Mitterhauser, Ivo Rausch

“…Abstract Aim The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an innovation leap in the use of fertilized chicken eggs (in ovo model) in preclinical imaging as PET/MRI enables the investigation of the chick embryonal organ-specific distribution of PET-tracers. However, hybrid PET/MRI inheres technical challenges in quantitative in ovo PET such as attenuation correction (AC) for the object as well as for additional hardware parts present in the PET field-of-view, which potentially contribute to quantification biases in the PET images if not accounted for. …”

“…Interferons (IFNs) are important signaling molecules in the human immune response against micro-organisms. Throughout initial Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.) infection in vitro, inadequate IFN-γ production results in the absence of a strong T-helper 1 cell response, potentially hampering the development of an effective antibody responses in Lyme borreliosis (LB) patients. …”
