Imaging of Inflammation in Spinal Cord Injury: Novel Insights on the Usage of PFC-Based Contrast Agents

Labeling of macrophages with perfluorocarbon(PFC)-based compounds allows the visualization of inflammatory processes by <sup>19</sup>F-magnetic resonance imaging (<sup>19</sup>F-MRI), due to the absence of endogenous background. Even if PFC-labeling of monocytes/macrophages h...
