From: Positron emission tomography detection of human endothelial cell and fibroblast monolayers: effect of pretreament and cell density on 18FDG uptake

Figure 5

18FDG/PET images of HUVEC (H) and fibroblasts (F) pretreated with media containing glucose concentrations from 0.5 to 7.0 mM (a to c). Panel (d) shows a closer look at the plateau found with fibroblasts between glucose concentrations of 1.5 and 4.5 mM. Note that the color scale has been stretched in (d) to better appreciate the subtle differences between relatively similar samples. Numbers above and below the PET images represent the media glucose concentration in mM. Panels e and f show PET images of fibroblast and HUVEC monolayers at different cell densities treated with 3 mM glucose. Numbers above and below these images indicate the numbers of cells at seeding (8 hours prior to scanning).
