18F-FDG PET/CT imaging. (a) Representative midventricular transversal images in a time course. The right image is a corresponding coronal plane 18F-FDG PET/CT. (b) Quantitative myocardial glucose uptake by micro-PET after intravenous injection of 18F-FDG in the control (n=3) and HFD (n=3) rats. Significantly increased myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in 4 weeks after HFD feeding is noted. ∗ P < 0.05 versus control. Ctrl = control.
