  abstractNote={This paper describes two aspects of Single Photon  Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) which  have been refined for use in small animals, as  demonstrated by a study on Mongolian gerbils:  intravenous injection of radiotracers in the femoral  vein and body heat conservation in animals  anaesthetized at the time of scanning. Elaborating  on recommendations made by other authors, we  have combined chemical and physical restraint to  optimize injection efficiency as well as to reduce  handling time of the animals. Finally, we provide a  detailed description of a SPECT-compatible waterheated  scanning bed, the application of which we  believe is not limited to scintigraphic studies.},
