摘要
Methods for performing macrophage-enhanced MRI, utilizing a macrophage imaging agent, in a single imaging session are provided. The macrophage imaging agent may be an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particle. One embodiment includes administering a macrophage imaging agent to the subject during an administration session then allowing a passage of time sufficient for accumulation of the agent in macrophages of the subject. Subsequently, in a single imaging session, a macrophage-enhanced magnetic resonance image is acquired to target macrophages and a different magnetic resonance image is acquired to target physiological phenomenon other than macrophages. Additional embodiments provide methods wherein the acquisition of a different magnetic resonance image is achieved by vascular-enhanced MRI protocols or perfusion-enhanced MRI protocols, or combinations thereof. Further embodiments provide methods for utilizing acquired images in assessment of treatment of disease.
