In vivo MR imaging of intraarterially delivered magnetically labeled mesenchymal stem cells in a canine stroke model.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of intraarterial (IA) delivery and in vivo MR imaging of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a canine stroke model. METHODOLOGY: MSCs harvested from beagles' bone marrow were labeled with home-synt...
