Monocyte imaging after myocardial infarction with 19F MRI at 3 T: a pilot study in explanted porcine hearts

Abstract: This pilot study demonstrates that (19)F MRI at 3.0 T with clinically applicable PFOB is feasible, thus highlighting the potential of (19)F MRI to monitor the inflammatory response after AMI.

“…Perfluorocarbon‐containing nanoemulsions are nontoxic and have already been used in the clinic as a blood substitute [27]. We recently demonstrated the feasibility of monocyte imaging with 19 F‐MRI in a pig model of MI in a clinical scanner at 3 Tesla when the nanoemulsions were applied immediately after injury [28]. As discussed above, the time of PFC application after MI is critical for the labeling and imaging of either invading monocytes/macrophages or EPDC.…”

“…A high signal area of delayed enhancement is an irreversible necrotic myocardium. The main reason for myocardial infarction is structural damage of myocardial cells and microvascular damage, and the mechanism underlying the infarction area may be the delay of non-active tissue contrast agents clustered at the entry and exit points, and the distribution volume of the contrast agent in the active and inactive regions (15). …”

“…Due to the high imaging sensitivity of USPIO, macrophage recruitment could be clearly detected as a hypointense signal on the T2*WI in our study. Recently, perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion‐based 19 F‐MRI was also used to track and quantify macrophages during inflammation . However, the need for dedicated, high‐performance MRI equipment poses a considerable challenge to the clinical application of this method.…”
