Abstract Rats are widely used in biomedical research involving molecular imaging and therefore the radiation dose to animals has become a concern. The weight of laboratory animals might change through emaciation or obesity as a result of their use in various research experiments including those investigating different diet types. In this work, we evaluated the effects of changes in body weight induced by emaciation and obesity on the internal radiation dose from common positron-emitting radionuclides.
