From: [18F]FDG PET-MR characterization of aortitis in the IL1rn−/− mouse model of giant-cell arteritis
Results of [18F]FDG PET quantification in second-generation specific pathogen-free 9-week-old BALB/c IL1rn−/− (n = 5) or wild-type mice (n = 13 or n = 12 for the ascending thoracic aorta). A Abdominal aorta, SPF versus WT, p = 1; SPF versus SOPF, p = 0.50. B Descending thoracic aorta, SPF versus WT, p = 0.0068; SPF versus SOPF, p = 0.0055. C Ascending thoracic aorta, SPF versus WT, p = 0.65; SPF versus SOPF, p = 0.50
