Small rodents such as mice and rats are frequently used in animal experiments for several
reasons. In the past, animal experiments were frequently associated with invasive methods …

Purpose: We investigated the capability of small animal imaging in clinical scanners for
cancer research focusing on positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography …

Aims To evaluate the feasibility of loading resting monocytes/macrophages by intravenous
(iv) injection of fluorescent iron oxide nanoparticles prior to injury and tracking of these cells …

Implantation of skeletal myoblasts to the heart has been investigated as a means to
regenerate and protect the myocardium from damage after myocardial infarction. While …

Background The purpose of this study was to measure regional contractile function in the
normal rat using cardiac cine and tagged cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) during …

MRI can accurately and reproducibly assess cardiac function in rodents but requires
relatively long imaging times. Therefore, parallel imaging techniques using a 4‐element RF …

Aims The aim of this study was to assess the use of a 3 T clinical cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) scanner to detect injury to the heart in experimental autoimmune …

Because of superior soft-tissue contrast compared to other imaging techniques, non-
invasive abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is ideal for monitoring organ …

Small animals such as mice and rats are extensively used to investigate the mechanisms
and treatment of human cardiac diseases in vivo. The monitoring of left ventricular function is …

The aim of this study was to measure the myocardial area at risk in rat, using MRI and
manganese injection during a coronary occlusion/reperfusion model at 1.5 T. A sequential …
