At the beginning is the fluorescence image of a human colon cancer implanted in the skin tissue in a dorsal window chamber on an SCID mouse produced by a conventional fluorescence microscope. The tumor cell line was transfected with red fluorescent protein (RFP). The remaining are a sequence of positron images of the 18F-FDG uptake distribution in the same cancerous tissue acquired dynamically over a 30-minute time period. The acquisition started at the time of injection, and each image frame was produced at 2-minute exposure and 35-second readout time. The location of the tumor is indicated by arrows in each image.
