Uptake of 68 Ga pentixafor in patients after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction indicating various levels of CXCR4 expression in myocardial segments with different patterns of myocardial injury as defined by the presence (+) or absence (−) of gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) late enhancement (LE) or edema on T2-sequences (T2) at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. a Representative short-axis slices characterizing four different types of segments. b Results of segmental pentixafor uptake score in respective segment types. *p < 0.05 versus remote; **p < 0.05 versus all others.
