Representative in vivo imaging of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb uptake in a longitudinal study. (A) Static PET/CT matched axial, coronal and sagittal slices in the same mouse subjected to coronary ligation and scanned 1 h after injection of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb (2, 7, and 14 days after MI) and 18F-FDG (7 days after MI). In order to validate the results obtained by in vivo PET/CT imaging (in n = 6 mice) and to confirm the cardiac origin of the in vivo signal, hearts from two MI-induced mice were also scanned ex vivo. (B) MR only and (C) PET/MRI of the heart excised from a mouse, 7 days after coronary ligation, confirming augmented 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb uptake in the area close to the ligation site.
