Feasibility of Macrophage Plaque Imaging Using Novel Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide in Dual Energy CT
Purpose: While ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) is useful for identifying atherosclerotic lesions as an MRI contrast medium, there are limitations in its power to quantitatively evaluate and resolve USPIO in atherosclerotic lesions of the heart. Computed tomography (CT) has a higher r...
