Micro-CT based experimental liver imaging using a nanoparticulate contrast agent: a longitudinal study in mice.

BACKGROUND: Micro-CT imaging of liver disease in mice relies on high soft tissue contrast to detect small lesions like liver metastases. Purpose of this study was to characterize the localization and time course of contrast enhancement of a nanoparticular alkaline earth metal-based contrast agent (V...
