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.
