Direct Detection of SPIO Labeled Stem Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Stem cell tracking is being performed in NMR as an indirect measurement of effects caused by iron nanoparticles which suffers from ambiguity and strong background dependency of the observed signal changes. Recently a method for direct imaging of magnetic particles has been introduced [1]. We present a setup for spectroscopic detection of magnetic nanoparticles along with measurements to characterize those particles and to detect labeled stem cells.

Sensitivity of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging in Detecting Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide-Labeled Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is extremely sensitive in the detection of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticle-labeled cells. However, no study has compared molecular imaging for stem cell detection using SWI and other MRI pulse sequences. OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the sensitivity of SWI in detecting SPIO nanoparticle-labeled, human bone marrow-derived...

We report initial results from studies using sweep imaging with Fourier transformation (SWIFT) to detect superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particle-labeled stem cells in the rat heart. In experiments performed on phantoms containing titanium balls or SPIO-labeled cells, frequency-shifted signals surrounding the paramagnetic objects produced a pileup artifact visualized by SWIFT. Total signal ...
متن کاملMethodological aspects of MRI of transplanted superparamagnetic iron oxide-labeled mesenchymal stem cells in live rat brain
In vivo tracking of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) migration and homing is vital for understanding the mechanisms of beneficial effects of MSCs transplantation in animal models of diseases and in clinical trials. Transplanted cells can be labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles and visualized in vivo using a number of iron sensitive MRI techniques. However, the ap...
متن کاملIn vivo magnetic resonance imaging tracking of transplanted superparamagnetic iron oxide-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats with myocardial infarction
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles generate superparamagnetism, thereby resulting in an inhomogeneous local magnetic field, which shortens the T2 value on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of the present study was to use MRI to track bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) labeled with SPIO in a rat model of myocardial infarction. The BMSCs were isolated from rats ...
