In vivo and ex vivo transversal tomographic images of an infarcted mouse-heart. (a) In vivo images of ¹¹¹In-DTPA-cNGR uptake, mainly in areas of ^99mTc-sestamibi absence. Numerical values on the scale bars indicate the SUV_max and SUV_min. (b) Ex vivo images of ¹¹¹In-DTPA-cNGR uptake, mainly in areas of ^99mTc-sestamibi absence. (c) Polar perfusion maps combined with the 17 segment model show that enhanced ¹¹¹In-DTPA-cNGR uptake (orange in areas 13, 16 and 17) occurred mainly in areas with low ^99mTc-sestamibi uptake (green in areas 13, 16 and 17), signifying the anterolateral region in the infarcted myocardium.
