A Simple Device to Convert a Small-Animal PET Scanner into a Multi-Sample Tissue and Injection Syringe Counter

We describe a simple fixture that can be added to the imaging bed of a small-animal PET scanner that allows automated counting of multiple organ or tissue samples from mouse-sized animals and counting of injection syringes prior to administration of the radiotracer. The combination of imaging and counting capabilities in the same machine offers advantages in certain experimental settings.
