In Vivo Molecular Characterization of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Using Fibrin‐Specific Magnetic Resonance Imaging

BackgroundThe incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) will significantly increase during the next decade. Novel biomarkers, besides diameter, are needed for a better characterization of aneurysms and the estimation of the risk of rupture. Fibrin is a key protein in the formation of focal hema...
