Magnetic particle imaging angiography of the femoral artery in a human cadaveric perfusion model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) allows for radiation-free visualization of tracers without background signal. With the first human-sized interventional MPI scanner being recently developed, the aim of the present study was to test its performance for guiding of endovascular procedures in a realistic perfusion model.

Methods

Three fresh-frozen cadaveric legs were prepared to establish continuous circulation in the superficial femoral artery via introducer sheaths in the inguinal and infragenicular region. To facilitate vessel visualization, a mixture of a MPI tracer (Resotran® or Perimag®) and X-ray contrast agent was injected under continuous extracorporeal perfusion and imaged simultaneously with MPI angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as refere
