18F-FDG PET Imaging of Murine Atherosclerosis: Association with Gene Expression of Key Molecular Markers
30 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To study whether (18)F-FDG can be used for in vivo imaging of atherogenesis by examining the correlation between (18)F-FDG uptake and gene expression of key molecular markers of atherosclerosis in apoE(-/-) mice. METHODS: Nine groups of apoE(-/-) mice were given normal chow or high-fat diet. At different time-points, (18)F-FDG PET/contrast-enhanced CT scans were performed on dedicated animal scanners. After...
