Abstract:BACKGROUND:
Current clinical imaging of thromboembolic diseases often relies on indirect detection of thrombi, which may delay diagnosis and ultimately the institution of beneficial, potentially lifesaving treatment. Therefore, the development of targeting tools that facilitate the rapid, specific, and direct imaging of thrombi using molecular imaging is highly sought after. One potential molecular target is FXIIa (factor XIIa), which initiates the intrinsic coagulation pathway but also activates t… Show more
