Figure 6

Evaluation of gadolinium contrast agents with a murine model of hindlimb ischemia. (a) The femoral artery of the left hindlimb was ligated to prevent blood flow. (b)–(d) MR images of left and right hindlimbs of (b) a mouse that did not receive gadolinium, (c) a mouse that was injected with DPTA-gadolinium chelates, and (d) a mouse injected with gadolinium loaded on liposome surfaces. The arrow in (d) indicates significant accumulation of liposomes loaded with gadolinium. The color scale bar is proportional to MR signal intensity, and images are presented at the same grayscale levels.
