Previous studies by our group have demonstrated the feasibility of non-invasive imaging of αv integrin to assess temporal and spatial changes in peripheral and myocardial angiogenesis. In this study we validate the reproducibility, accuracy, and applicability of a new semi-automated non-invasive approach for serial quantitative evaluation of targeted microSPECT-CT images of peripheral angiogenesis in wild-type and eNOS-deficient mice subjected to hindlimb ischemia.
