Chronic thrombus detection with in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and a fibrin-targeted contrast agent.
BACKGROUND Arterial thrombosis plays a critical role in acute coronary syndromes and stroke. Therefore, the ability to detect thrombus in vivo has a significant clinical implication. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown promise in noninvasive thrombus detection. However, thrombus characterization and age definition remain difficult. We sought to evaluate the use of a fibrin-targeted pepti...
متن کاملMonitoring the progression of atherosclerotic plaque and disruption with contrast-enhancement MR imaging: an experimental study
Background High-resolution CE-MRI is a noninvasive imaging modality to monitor the progression and regression of atherosclerotic plaque and disruption. The purpose of this study is to monitor the progression of atherosclerotic plaque in rabbit model with serial high-resolution contrast enhancement MRI (CE MRI), and sought to differentiate the morphology and composition between ruptured and non-...

متن کاملRecent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...
