Contrast ultrasound molecular imaging of inflammation in cardiovascular disease.
The cellular immune response plays an important role in almost every major form of cardiovascular disease. The ability to image the key aspects of the immune response in the clinical setting could be used to improve diagnostic information, to provide important prognostic or risk information, and to customize therapy according to disease phenotype. Accordingly, targeted imaging probes for assess...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of cardiovascular disease.
Molecular imaging aims at sensing specific molecular targets, fundamental biological processes, and certain cell types in living subjects. An integrative discipline rooted in the biological, chemical, and imaging sciences, molecular imaging has broad applications in biology and drug discovery1–5 and increasingly within cardiovascular disease.6–12 Before discussing key factors spurring the growt...
متن کاملCardiovascular Molecular Imaging with Contrast Ultrasound: Principles and Applications
Methods for imaging the molecular or cellular profile of tissue are being developed for all forms of non-invasive cardiovascular imaging. It is thought that these technologies will potentially improve patient outcomes by allowing diagnosis of disease at an early-stage, monitoring disease progression, providing important information on patient risk, and for tailoring therapy to the molecular bas...
متن کاملUltrasound molecular imaging of atherosclerosis.
Recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of atherosclerosis have created the need for better non-invasive imaging of vascular phenotype. Ultrasound is widely available, inexpensive, and well suited for high-throughput screening in populations that are at risk for atherosclerosis. Novel ultrasonic approaches for the diagnosis of vascular changes in atherosclerosi...
متن کاملATVB In Focus Molecular Imaging of Cardiovascular Disease
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...
