X-ray computed tomography scan images of intra-aortic Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF contrast agent injected 16 month old P. obesus. a Sagittal, b coronal, c transverse and d 3d reconstructed CT images. Red arrows indicate the streak at the aortic arch site with Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF nanocomplex accumulation. e Three dimensional reconstruction image generated with the Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF nanocomplex injected P. obesus hearts and aortae agar phantom CT scan (inset). The periphery of the cardiovascular tissue was outlined with a dotted white line following a tissue outline observed with the CT image. Aortic regions with enhanced CT contrast are evident in the aorta and highlighted by red and blue dotted lines representing the aortic arch and terminal iliac bifurcation respectively
