Organisationseinheit der BAM
Screening against ADAMTS4 reveals a specific peptide, which was turned into an MRI probe. The aneurysm in a mouse modal was visualized via MRI. A differentiation between stable and unstable aneurysm in an early state was performed. Using the probe as tool for an easy and non-invasive rupture assessment is possible.
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.
