摘要

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether gadofluorine, a paramagnetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, selectively enhances carotid atherosclerotic plaques in Yucatan miniswine. METHODS: Atherosclerotic plaques were induced in the left carotid arteries (LCA) of Yucatan miniswine (n=3) by balloon denudation and high cholesterol diet. T1-weighted MRI was performed before and 24 hours after gadofluorine injection (at a dose of 100 micromol/kg) to assess the enhancement of the balloon-injured LCA wall relative to healthy, uninjured right carotid artery (RCA) wall. Histopathology was performed to verify the presence and composition of the atherosclerotic plaques imaged with MRI. RESULTS: Gadofluorine was found to enhance LCA atherosclerotic lesions relative to RCA wall by 21% (P<0.025) 24 hours after contrast injection. Enhancement of healthy LCA wall relative to healthy RCA wall was not observed. CONCLUSION: Gadofluorine selectively enhances carotid atherosclerotic plaques in Yucatan miniswine. Gadofluorine appears to be a promising MR contrast agent for detection of atherosclerotic plaques in vivo.
