Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aim to establish a proof of concept of novel targeting to acute brain ischemic stroke using macromolecular MRI contrast agents. We successfully prepared two types of contrast agents; polymeric micelle type and non-micelle forming type. Using these agents, we observed their significantly rapid accumulation at the ischemic sites in T1-weighted MR images. Owing to very distinct images with a long-time-lasting character, MRI analyses by the use of macromolecular contrast agents may realize risk prediction of brain hemorrhage induced by the t-PA therapy that is conducted against acute brain ischemic stroke.
