The precise mapping of collateral circulation and ischemic penumbra is crucial for diagnosing and treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Unfortunately, there exists a significant shortage of high-sensitivity and high-resolution in vivo imaging techniques to fulfill this requirement. Herein, a contrast enhanced susceptibility-weighted imaging (CE-SWI) using the minimalist dextran-modified FeO nanoparticles (FeO@Dextran NPs) are introduced for the highly sensitive and high-resolution AIS depiction under 9.4 T for the first time. The FeO@Dextran NPs are synthesized via a simple one-pot coprecipitation method using commercial reagents under room temperature. It shows merits of small size (hydrodynamic size 25.8 nm), good solubility, high transverse relaxivity (r) of 51.3 mMs at 9.4 T, and superior biocompatibility. The FeO@Dextran NPs-enhanced SWI can highlight the cerebral vessels readily with significantly improved contrast and ultrahigh resolution of 0.1 mm under 9.4 T MR scanner, enabling the clear spatial identification of collateral circulation in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model. Furthermore, FeO@Dextran NPs-enhanced SWI facilitates the precise depiction of ischemia core, collaterals, and ischemic penumbra post AIS through matching analysis with other multimodal MR sequences. The proposed FeO@Dextran NPs-enhanced SWI offers a high-sensitivity and high-resolution imaging tool for individualized characterization and personally precise theranostics of stroke patients.
准确描绘侧支循环和缺血半影对于急性缺血性脑卒中(AIS)的诊断和治疗至关重要。然而,目前缺乏高灵敏度和高分辨率的体内成像技术来满足这一需求。在此,我们首次报道了使用最小化葡聚糖修饰的 FeO 纳米颗粒(FeO@Dextran NPs)的对比增强磁敏感加权成像(CE-SWI),可在 9.4 T 下高度敏感和高分辨率地描绘 AIS。FeO@Dextran NPs 通过在室温下使用商业试剂的简单一锅共沉淀方法合成。它具有小尺寸(水动力尺寸 25.8nm)、良好的溶解性、在 9.4 T 下高横向弛豫率(r)为 51.3 mMs 和优异的生物相容性的优点。FeO@Dextran NPs 增强的 SWI 可以在 9.4 T 磁共振扫描仪下显著提高对比度和超高分辨率(0.1mm),轻松突出脑血管,从而能够在大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)大鼠模型中清楚地识别侧支循环。此外,FeO@Dextran NPs 增强的 SWI 通过与其他多模态 MR 序列的匹配分析,有助于精确描绘 AIS 后的缺血核心、侧支和缺血半影。所提出的 FeO@Dextran NPs 增强的 SWI 为个体化特征和个人精确治疗脑卒中患者提供了一种高灵敏度和高分辨率的成像工具。
