Aim 1BGroup 2 64CU-DOTA-ECL1i (radioactive imaging medicine)Patients with Carotid and Femoral Atherosclerosis who will be managed medically and not having surgery
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of 64CU-ECL1i , imaging characteristics1 or 2 days

Injecting normal volunteers and patients who have blocked arteries with a single bolus injection. The dose of the injection is 8-10, and the above drug is measured in millicuries, which is a unit of radioactivity.

the dose of millicuries will be 8-10 millicures

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PET/MR camera, imaging performance1-2 days

Utilizing the PET/MR camera using audiography, which can show the presence and size of the blockage
