Animal study shows PET/CT can detect brain damage from TMT poisoning

A feasibility study in rats suggests that PET/CT can detect brain damage caused by trimethyltin chloride (TMT), a hazardous compound widely used in plastics production.

Micro-PET/CT images of rats. (a) At 24 hours in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue was normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (b) At 7 days in the control group, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were normal, and the PET/CT images were red and white; (c) At 24 hours after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue were in a low state, and the PET/CT images were orange and yellow. (d) 7 days after TMT exposure, F-18 FDG uptake in rats brain tissue further decreased, and the PET/CT images appeared yellow and light yellow. There was no significant difference in the uptake of muscle tissue between the model group and the control group, and the PET/CT image was blue.
