Figure 1

Representative images displaying (a) laser Doppler perfusion imaging assessment of tissue perfusion before (upper panel) and after femoral artery ligation (lower panel). The region of interest placement is indicated in white. (b) Representative images showing uptake of [¹⁸F]FtRGD in the ischemic leg at day 8 in each of the diabetic treatment groups (representative nondiabetic image not shown). The region of interest placement for the ischemic leg is indicated in yellow, and region of interest placement for the contralateral intact leg is shown in green.
