Imaging vulnerable plaques by targeting inflammation in atherosclerosis using fluorescent-labeled dual-ligand microparticles of iron oxide and magnetic resonance imaging
This study characterized inflammation in atherosclerosis using dual-targeted microparticles of iron oxide (DT-MPIO) as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe.

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...

Imaging of the Vulnerable Carotid Plaque: Biological Targeting of Inflammation in Atherosclerosis using Iron Oxide Particles and MRI.
CONCLUSIONS: These functional molecular MRI probes constitute a novel imaging tool for ex vivo characterization of atherosclerosis at a molecular level. Further development and translation into the clinical arena will facilitate more accurate risk stratification in carotid artery disease in the future.
