Sensitive and efficient detection of thrombus with fibrin-specific manganese nanocolloids

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Jun 14:(22):3234-6. doi: 10.1039/b902875g. Epub 2009 Apr 22.

Abstract

In this work, we report novel fibrin targeted "soft-type" manganese-based contrast agents for MRI with the potential to noninvasively image intravascular thrombus which could warrant aggressive medical intervention to preclude subsequent myocardial infarction or stroke.
