Quantitative ¹⁹F spectroscopy of angiogenesis in aortic valve disease. The ¹⁹F signal was utilized to quantify binding of nanoparticles to the valve leaflets from (A) a rabbit treated with α_νβ₃-targeted nanoparticles and (B) a rabbit treated with untargeted nanoparticles. Both nanoparticle formulations consisted of a crown ether core, which generates a single peak. The PFOB peaks originated from a reference standard utilized for quantification. Nanoparticle binding in the rabbit treated with targeted particles was much higher (Crown Ether/PFOB = 4.6) than the rabbit treated with nontargeted particles (Crown Ether/PFOB = 2.2).
