In
this study, we investigated whether magnetic nanoparticle-contrasted cardiac
magnetic resonance imaging would be feasible and effective for the detecting
the inflammation in a rat model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis, and
whether MNP-contrasted CMR imaging could give a guidance where the biopsy
samples should be collected.
