The close interplay between thrombotic and immunologic processes plays an important physiological role in the immune defence after tissue injury and has the aim to reduce damage and to prevent the spread of invading pathogens. However, the uncontrolled or exaggerated activation of these processes can lead to pathological thromboinflammation. Thromboinflammation has been shown to worsen the outcome of cardiovascular, autoinflammatory, or even infectious diseases. Imaging of thromboinflammation is difficult because many clinically relevant imaging techniques can only visualize either inflammatory or thrombotic processes. One interesting option for the noninvasive imaging of thromboinflammation is multispectral F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to the large chemical shift range of the F atoms, it is possible to simultaneously visualize immune cells as well as thrombus components with specific F tracer that have individual spectral F signatures. Of note, the F signal can be easily quantified and a merging of the F datasets with the anatomical H MRI images enables precise anatomical localization. In this review, we briefly summarize the background of F MRI for inflammation imaging, active targeting approaches to visualize thrombi and specific immune cells, introduce studies about multispectral F MRI, and summarize one study that imaged thromboinflammation by multispectral F MRI.
血栓形成与免疫过程之间的紧密相互作用在组织损伤后的免疫防御中发挥着重要的生理作用,其目的是减少损伤并防止入侵病原体的扩散。然而,这些过程的不受控制或过度激活会导致病理性血栓炎症。血栓炎症已被证明会使心血管疾病、自身炎症性疾病甚至感染性疾病的预后恶化。血栓炎症的成像很困难,因为许多临床相关的成像技术只能可视化炎症或血栓形成过程。多光谱氟磁共振成像(MRI)是一种用于血栓炎症无创成像的有趣选择。由于氟原子的化学位移范围较大,使用具有特定氟信号特征的氟示踪剂可以同时可视化免疫细胞和血栓成分。值得注意的是,氟信号可以很容易地进行量化,并且将氟数据集与解剖学氢MRI图像合并能够实现精确的解剖定位。在这篇综述中,我们简要总结了用于炎症成像的氟MRI的背景、可视化血栓和特定免疫细胞的主动靶向方法,介绍了关于多光谱氟MRI的研究,并总结了一项通过多光谱氟MRI对血栓炎症进行成像的研究。
