T1 - Concurrent Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inflammatory Activity and Extracellular Matrix Degradation for the Prediction of Aneurysm Rupture JF - Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging N2 - This study demonstrates the potential of the concurrent assessment of inflammatory activity and ECM degradation by dual-probe molecular MRI in an experimental mouse model of AAA. Based on the combined information from both molecular probes the rupture of AAAs could reliably be predicted, with higher accuracy compared with each probe alone. The combined in vivo quantification of these biomarkers in 1 imaging session may be useful to improve the in vivo characterization of AAAs.
