The representative micro-positron emission tomography (micro PET) images of balloon injured rat carotid artery using a potent sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) PET radiotracer [11C]TZ3321. MicroPET image (A, two-dimensional[2D] image) and coregistered PET/computed tomography [CT] image of the first 100-second scan (B, three-dimensional (3D) image) indicated the blood perfusion in bilateral carotid arteries and were used to locate bilateral common carotid arteries. MicroPET image (C, 2D image) of the totally 60-minute scan showed higher tracer uptake in the injured carotid artery area than the sham side. D, the molecular structure of [11C]TZ3321.
