An 8-channel receive-only coil array for imaging two mice simultaneously and a two-mouse bed compatible with PET, SPECT, CT and MRI for use in doubling the throughput of sequential multimodality imaging of mice is described. Results of phantom tests and in vivo PET-MR imaging of a mouse tumor xenograft model are presented.
