Iron oxide particles for atheroma imaging.
The selection of patients for vascular interventions has been solely based on luminal stenosis and symptomatology. However, histological data from both the coronary and carotid vasculature suggest that other plaque features such as inflammation may be more important in predicting future thromboembolic events. Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) contrast agents have been used for non...
متن کاملI-55: Molecular Imaging Overview
Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
متن کاملChemical shift magnetic resonance imaging of human atheroma.
Fifteen necropsy specimens of human descending aorta and from eight patients with atheromatous vascular disease were studied by magnetic resonance imaging at 0.5 T. Images were acquired in coronal and transverse planes to localised protruding lesions and then chemical shift imaging was performed by techniques described by Dixon and by Hinks. These techniques produce images in which signal stren...
متن کاملElasticity imaging of atheroma with transcutaneous ultrasound: preliminary study.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the physical properties of atherosclerotic plaque is essential when evaluating its vulnerability in a clinical setting. Such knowledge, however, is still difficult to obtain with the various approaches developed to date. METHODS AND RESULTS This article describes a noninvasive method for evaluating the regional elasticity (the elastic modulus in the circumferential dir...
متن کاملElectronic Staining: Elasticity Imaging of Atheroma with Transcutaneous Ultrasound
This paper describes a noninvasive method for evaluating regional elasticity in atheroma in which a novel method is applied to measure minute changes in thickness of each of the multiple layers of the arterial wall during one heartbeat. By comparing the pathological findings with the elasticity distribution, statistic parameters for lipid and a mixture of smooth muscle and collagen fiber can be...
