Comparative Evaluation of Various Combinable Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Pulse-sequences for Macrophage Imaging Using Ferucarbotran

November 6, 2014 updated by: Udo Sechtem, Robert Bosch Gesellschaft für Medizinische Forschung mbH

Comparative Evaluation of Various CMR Pulse-Sequences for Macrophage Imaging Using Ferucarbotran as Molecular Contrast Agent in Human Myocardial Infarction

The aim of this study is to:

  • clarify whether macrophage imaging using ferucarbotran is able to delineate the region of myocardial infarction as accurate as gadolinium-based necrosis/fibrosis imaging;
  • identify possible differences in infarct imaging using ferucarbotran for macrophage imaging compared to necrosis/fibrosis imaging with gadolinium-based compounds; and
  • evaluate which MRI pulse-sequences maximise sensitivity for macrophage imaging with ferucarbotran in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.
