Figure 3. Specificity of 6-[18F]-fluoromaltose for viable bacteria.

Figure 3

A) A coronal slice from a PET/CT image of a mouse bearing 108 CFU of viable bioluminescent E.coli on the right thigh (red arrow) and 108 CFU of heat-inactivated E.coli on the left thigh, 1hr after tail-vein injection of 7.4MBq of 6-[18F]-fluoromaltose B) A transverse slice from the same mouse shown in A), with arrows indicating sites of viable and heat inactivated bacteria. C) Bioluminescent image of the mouse shown in A). D) ROI analysis from PET/CT scan of mice (n = 3). * indicates statistical significance.
