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

Figure 4

Whole body 3D-MRI (MIP) to show T1w fat suppression after injection of ferrioxamine (50 μmol·kg−1) at 45 minutes of a rat after six months xenografted with human GLC4 and GLC4/adr cell in different angle of rotation axis to show bright spots in thoracic cavity enhanced by ferrioxamine (green arrows). 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.
