Abstract
Different modalities are currently emerging for imaging small animal becoming compulsory in domains such as drug discovery and genetics. The need for specific imaging systems enabling the handling of small animals with adapted spatial, temporal and contrast resolutions is discussed. The problems raised by data acquisition, processing and analysis are also addressed.
