Molecular Imaging of Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Figure 3
Transverse T2*-weighted magnetic resonance images, the spin-spin relaxation time measured in gradient echo sequences, of a single murine abdominal aortic aneurysm prior to iron oxide nanoparticle-labeled vascular smooth muscle cell delivery (a) and on postdelivery days 0 (b), 21 (c), and 28 (d). Arrows represent areas of hypointense signal in the aortic wall. The vessel lumen is highlighted with (). Scale bar represents 1 mm. Figure adapted from [96].
