Figure 3From: Gd-based protein cage nanoparticles provide enhanced r1 relaxivity and detect experimental atherosclerosisT1-weighted FSE MRI of ligated left carotids in mice before and after injection of Hsp-Gd (top) or Magnevist (bottom). The macrophage-rich left carotid lesion was clearly enhanced by Hsp-Gd, but not in the non-ligated right carotid artery or either carotid artery after Magnevist injection.Back to article page
