Among the preclinical molecular imaging approaches, lately fluorine (19F) magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered significant scientific interest in the biomedical …

Inflammation plays a central pathophysiological role in a large number of diseases. While
conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict gross tissue alterations due to …

In this article, we review the use of 19F MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for in vivo
tracking of monocytes and macrophages in the course of tissue inflammation. Emulsified …

Inflammatory processes can reliably be assessed by 19F MRI using perfluorocarbons
(PFCs), which is primarily based on the efficient uptake of emulsified PFCs by circulating …

The research roots of 19fluorine (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) date back over 35
years. Over that time span, 1H imaging flourished and was adopted worldwide with an …

Abstract Objective Perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions (PFCs) tagged with fluorescence dyes
have been intensively used to confirm the in vivo 19 F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Purpose We aim to develop perfluorocarbon-based nanoemulsions with improved sensitivity
for detection of inflammatory macrophages in situ using F-19 MRI. Towards this goal, we …

Unlike conventional 1H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 19F MRI features unambiguous
detection of fluorine spins due to negligible background signals. Therefore, it is considered a …

Tracking fate and function of specific cell types by molecular imaging methods is of great
importance for basic research and holds the potential to be clinically applied for initial …

Perfluorocarbons hold great promise both as imaging agents, particularly for 19 F MRI, and
in therapy, such as oxygen delivery. 19 F MRI is unique in its ability to unambiguously track …
