Résumé
The aim of this guideline is to provide recommendations for the implementation of an effective and efficient quality control (QC) programme for SPECT and PET systems in a preclinical imaging lab. These recommendations aim to strengthen the translational power of preclinical imaging results obtained using preclinical SPECT and PET. As for clinical imaging, reliability, reproducibility, and repeatability are essential when groups of animals are used in a longitudinal imaging experiment. The larger the variability of the imaging endpoint, the more animals are needed to be able to observe statistically significant differences between groups. Therefore, preclinical imaging requires quality control procedures to maintain reliability, reproducibility, and repeatability of imaging procedures, and to ensure the accuracy and precision of SPECT and PET quantification. While the Physics Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) has already published excellent procedure guidelines for Routine Quality Control Recommendations for Nuclear Medicine Instrumentation that also includes procedures for small animal PET systems, and important steps have already been made concerning preclinical quality control aspects, this new guideline provides a review and update of these previous guidelines such that guidelines are also adapted to new technological developments.
