(A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of inflammatory muscles at 24 h after local injection of turpentine oil. (B) Transaxial PET images of mice that received turpentine oil injection. Ten-min static PET scans were obtained after intravenous injection of 3.7 MBq of 18F-AlF-NEB. Apparent radioactivity accumulation was observed in inflamed muscles at both 1 and 2.5 h after tracer injection, as indicated by arrows. (C) Time–activity curves over inflamed and contralateral healthy muscles based on PET images from a 60-min dynamic scan using 18F-AlF-NEB. (D) Quantitative analysis of 18F-AlF-NEB uptake in both inflamed and contralateral healthy muscles at 1 and 2.5 h after tracer injection.
