Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease developing from early fatty streaks to highly rupture-prone unstable plaques.Many cellular and molecular events are involved in each step.With the development of targeting probe technology,molecular magnetic resonance imaging techniques are expected to revolutionize the treatment strategies of atherosclerosis in the near future.Many desirable molecular probes targeting various components of plaque have emerged in recent years.This article reviews the molecular magnetic resonance imaging techniques of atherosclerosis and their application.
