Calculation of therapeutic index
LD50/ED50
Xray
Advantages: fine resolution of hard surfaces; fast Disadvantages: less detail soft structures; radiation hazard
CT
Advantages: detail soft structures; lesions in 3D Disadvantages: radiation exposure risk
PET/SPECT
Advantages: image in vivo processes; high resolution soft tissue Disadvantage: requires short half-life radioisotopes; radiation risk
Ultrasound
Advantages: soft tissue abnormalities; may be used intravascularly Disadvantages: poor image quality; not quantifiable
Thermography
Advantages: non invasive, repeatable and quantifiable Disadvantages: low resolution; may be affected by environmental temperatures and animal factors
MRI
Advantages: good contrast and tissue distinction; no radiation Disadvantages: restrictive condition; metal safety hazards
Fluorescent imaging
Advantages: can track metabolic processes Disadvantages: time sensitive and requires chlorophyll free diet
Bioluinescence
Advantages: noninvasive; fast and high throughput imaging Disadvantages: requires genetic manipulation of animals; not quantifiable

Isograft (I)
a graft of tissue that is obtained from a donor geneticially identical to the recipient
allograft
a transplant from one individual to another of the same species with a different genotype
xenograft
a transplant from one species to a different species
