Magnetic resonance and bioluminescence imaging of macrophage homing to experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms

Macrophage infiltration is a prominent feature of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. We used a multimodality imaging approach - magnetic resonance (MRI) and bioluminescence (BLI) - to study macrophage homing and accumulation in experimental AAA disease.
