3D MPI MAA-SPIO scans in vivo rats over 24 hours, displayed as MIPs. 700,000 MAA-SPIOs, with approximately 1.4×105 SPIO particles per MAA cluster (0.4 mg Fe/kg), effectively target to the lung vasculature by lodging in the lung capillary due to MAA-SPIO particle size larger than capillary diameter. MAA-SPIOs fragment over time and clear to the liver and spleen over 24 hrs. MPI scans are coregistered to CT scans. Colorbar in µg Fe/cm3.
