Figure 3From: Imaging RAGE expression in atherosclerotic plaques in hyperlipidemic pigsSPECT/CT images. The left image is a transverse blended image at the level of the aortic root showing focal uptake corresponding to the origin of the LCx. The middle and right images show the sagittal and coronal blended images at the level of the anterior neck showing focal uptake that localizes to the left carotid artery, respectively. Both areas of focal uptake corresponded to higher values for %ID/g from well counter and IV AHA lesions on histology.Back to article page
