Simultaneous 19F/1H molecular imaging of angiogenesis targeted perfluoro-octyl-bromide nanoparticles in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis using 3D radial balanced UTE-SSFP. Proton images (a) with 1.25mm isotropic voxels show anatomy, upon which 19F image can be over-laid (b). The ROI in (b) is surrounding the aorta, which has a diameter of about 5mm. The 19F overlay within the aortic region is in green, and extra-aortic 19F signal is blue.
