Targeting of the iron oxide-labeled stem cell injections to the peri-infarction area was performed based on delayed contrast-enhanced short-axis MRI (left) in which hyperintense signal represents myocardial infarction (MI) in this acute, reperfused canine model. Short-axis, high-resolution fast gradient echo image (right) of the left ventricle demonstrating multiple hypointensities (arrows) from iron oxide-labeled mesenchymal stem cells that were injected under MR fluoroscopy.
