In those studies, the technical feasibility was demonstrated and the signal degradation caused by additional mice in the FOV characterized, however, the impact of the signal degradation on the outcome of a PET study has not yet been studied. Here we thoroughly investigated, using Monte Carlo simulated [\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F]FDG and [\n                    <jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>\n                    C]Raclopride PET studies, different experimental designs for whole-body and brain acquisitions of two mice and assessed the actual impact on the detection of biological variations as compared to a single-mouse setting. First, we extended the validation of the PET-SORTEO Monte Carlo simulation platform for the simultaneous simulation of two animals. Then, we designed [\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F]FDG and [\n                    <jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>\n                    C]Raclopride input mouse models for the simulation of realistic whole-body and brain PET studies. Simulated studies allowed us to accurately estimate the differences in detection between single- and dual-mode acquisition settings that are purely the result of having two animals in the FOV. Validation results showed that PET-SORTEO accurately reproduced the spatial resolution and noise degradations that were observed with actual dual phantom experiments. The simulated [\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F]FDG whole-body study showed that the resolution loss due to the off-center positioning of the mice was the biggest contributing factor in signal degradation at the pixel level and a minimal inter-animal distance as well as the use of reconstruction methods with resolution modeling should be preferred. Dual mode acquisition did not have a major impact on ROI-based analysis except in situations where uptake values in organs from the same subject were compared. The simulated [\n                    <jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>\n                    C]Raclopride study however showed that dual-mice imaging strongly reduced the sensitivity to variations when mice were positioned side-by-side while no sensitivity reduction was observed when they were facing each other. This is the first study showing the impact of different experimental designs for whole-body and brain acquisitions of two mice on the quality of the results using Monte Carlo simulated [\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F]FDG and [\n                    <jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>\n                    C]Raclopride PET studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/0031-9155\/61\/3\/1371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,21]],"date-time":"2016-01-21T12:22:34Z","timestamp":1453378954000},"page":"1371-1388","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Simultaneous scanning of two mice in a small-animal PET scanner: a simulation-based assessment of the signal degradation"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Anthonin","family":"Reilhac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"},{"name":"CERMEP\u2014Imagerie du vivant"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Boisson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Strasbourg"},{"name":"CNRS"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catriona","family":"Wimberley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Parmar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Zahra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hasar","family":"Hamze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Arthur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Bouillot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERMEP\u2014Imagerie du vivant"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arnaud","family":"Charil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marie-Claude","family":"Gr\u00e9goire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization"},{"name":"University of Sydney"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbaa0cf3bib002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"991","DOI":"10.1007\/s00259-009-1352-1","type":"journal-article","article-title":"High throughput static and dynamic small animal imaging using clinical PET\/CT: potential preclinical applications","volume":"37","author":"Aide","year":"2010a","journal-title":"Eur.
