Figure 2

Average blood input functions following [11C]acetate injection and MBFi polar-maps using carotid artery STD and inferior VC blood inputs. (A) Average blood input functions following [11C]acetate injection in normal control mice (n = 5). Curves are normalized relative to the maximum activity of the carotid artery reference standard (STD) samples. (B) Myocardial blood flow index (MBFi) polar-maps derived using the carotid artery STD and inferior vena cava (VC) blood input curves. There were no significant differences in blood input areas-under-the-curve (AUCs) or MBFi values.
