Visualization of Inflammation at Early Stage of Lung Cancer in Xenografted Temporally Immunosuppression Rats by Ferrioxamine Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 3

Whole body 3D-MRI (MIP) to show the T1w-SE scout view (a), T1w-SE (b), and T1w fat suppression (c) after injection of ferrioxamine (50 μmol·kg−1) at 45 minutes. The anesthetized rats were placed and fixed in a prone position inside an in-house made bed (allowing controlling the temperature at 25°C) compatible with head coil. The section thickness was 2 mm and began from dorsal to ventral.
