The use of iron oxide nanoparticles in MRI is leading
development of image acquisition and analysis techniques
to accurately localize uptake and persistence of such
contrast agents. Detailed localization of the SPION and
its contrast to other structures that are also
hypointense is important. We explore the advantages of
high field and high resolution MRI to assess
inflammation, macrophage uptake and bone erosion in an
antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) model.
