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

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31

Summary

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.

• Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
