MRI caracterisation of atheroma plaque in aortic arch of mice ApoE2 (K.I) by using Anionic Magnetic Nano Particules of iron oxide labelled macrophages and assessment of inflammatory status of atheroma plaques by follow up during 3 days post-contrast, allows us to detect the macrophages after migration distributed in intimal and/or adventitial localization. this is promising for vectorization and assessement of traitement accuracy
