Imaging of the Vulnerable Carotid Plaque: Biological Targeting of Inflammation in Atherosclerosis using Iron Oxide Particles and MRI
This study aims at visualizing and characterizing atherosclerosis using antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles as an MRI probe to assess inflammation in human atherosclerotic plaques.Methods: Atherosclerotic plaques were collected from 20 consecutive patients (n = 10 from symptomatic patients, n = 10 from asymptomatic patients) undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for extracranial high-grade internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis (>70% luminal narrowing). Inflammatory markers on human atherosclerotic plaques were detected and characterized by ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using...
