Comparison of iron particle distribution between necrotic and non-necrotic inflammation Iron distribution in the myocardial inflammatory regions was compared between necrotic and non-necrotic tissues on Prussian blue staining (a). Necrotic area is highlighted by the dotted line. Prussian blue and H&E staining of the necrotic region (b & c, respectively) and the non-necrotic regions (d & e, respectively) clearly show the different distribution of ferumoxytol between those regions. The number of iron particles was counted in the high-power field and compared between the non-necrotic and necrotic inflammatory areas (e)
