Fig. 5. Comparisons of 64Cu-1 uptake in CD-1 mice with an intramuscular infection (E. coli) in the right thigh at 4 h post injection. (a) Quantitative results (counts per mm2) of 64Cu-1 in an ex vivo autoradiography study with left and right thigh muscle sections (20–40 μm, n = 9 sections per muscle). (b) Abdominal vs. thigh muscle uptake of 64Cu-1 in % ID per g. (c) SUV (standardized uptake value) calculations from in vivo imaging comparing peripheral and thigh muscle.
