abstract = {We herein developed a micro-CT method using the innovative
contrast agent ExiTron™ MyoC 8000 to longitudinally
monitor cardiac processes in vivo in small animals.
Experiments were performed on healthy mice and mice with
myocardial infarction inflicted by ligation of the left
anterior descending artery. Time-dependent signal
enhancement in different tissues of healthy mice was
measured and various contrast agent doses were investigated
so as to determine the minimum required dose for imaging of
the myocardium. Due to its ability to be taken up by healthy
myocardium but not by infarct tissue, ExiTron MyoC 8000
enables detection of myocardial infarction even at a very
low dose. The signal enhancement in the myocardium of
infarcted mice after contrast agent injection was exploited
for quantification of infarct size. The values of infarct
size obtained from the imaging method were compared with
those obtained from histology and showed a significant
correlation (R(2) = 0.98). Thus, the developed micro-CT
method allows for monitoring of a variety of processes such
as cardiac remodeling in longitudinal studies.},
