In the field of MR imaging and especially in the emerging field of cellular and molecular MR
imaging, flexible strategies to synthesize contrast agents that can be manipulated in terms of …

Recent years have seen a dramatic expansion in our knowledge of the events of
atherogenesis and in the availability of drugs that can retard the progression—and even …

Gadolinium (Gd) chelates have been widely used as contrast agent in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). In addition to using MRI, they are interesting, as a radiosensitizer, in neutron …

magnetofluorescent nanoparticle. 19, 20 In addition, many copies of the targeting ligand can
subsequently be attached to the CLIO-fluorochrome conjugate to form a multivalent (1 …

Background—MRI of specific components in atherosclerotic plaque may provide information
on plaque stability and its potential to rupture. We evaluated gadofluorine in atherosclerotic …

The vulnerability or destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques has been directly linked to
plaque composition. Imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, that …

Pegylated, fluorescent, and paramagnetic micelles were developed. The micelles were
conjugated with macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR)‐specific antibodies. The abdominal …

Aims We sought to evaluate the utility of contrast-enhanced coronary magnetic resonance
imaging (CE-MRI) for selective visualization and non-invasive differentiation of …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the arterial wall has emerged as a viable technology
for characterizing atherosclerotic lesions in vivo, especially within carotid arteries and other …

This review aims at assessing the role of nanosized systems as MR-imaging reporters in
Molecular Imaging applications. The possibility of delivering a high number of imaging …
