Visualizing the Distribution of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Ischemic Brain Using In Vivo ¹⁹F-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging

Figure 3

¹⁹F MRSI spectra in regions of interest. (a) T2-weighted image of representative t-PA-administered mouse shows the prominent infarct area in the right MCA area. Grid shows phase-encoded voxels in nonzero-filled/interpolated MRSI data. Each colored square corresponds to the voxel of region-of-interest (ROI) in which (b) the spectra of identical color was detected.
