Beyond Vessel Diameters: Non-invasive Monitoring of Flow Patterns and Immune Cell Recruitment in Murine Abdominal Aortic Disorders by Multiparametric MRI

Beyond Vessel Diameters: Non-invasive Monitoring of Flow Patterns and Immune Cell Recruitment in Murine Abdominal Aortic Disorders by Multiparametric MRI

The pathophysiology of the initiation and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and aortic dissections (AADs) is still unclear. However, there is strong evidence that monocytes and macrophages are of crucial importance in these processes. Here, we utilized a molecular imaging approach bas...
