Localization and Quantification of Platelet-Rich Thrombi in Large Blood Vessels With Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging

Abstract: Background-Imaging of thrombus formation in vivo has been limited by the inability to directly visualize and measure thrombi in large blood vessels in real time. Near-infrared light, with its superior tissue penetration and reduced scatter, could potentially solve this problem. Methods and Results-Platelets were labeled with the near-infrared fluorophore IR-786. Optimal total fluorescence yield occurred at 6 attomoles of IR-786 per platelet. IR-786 -labeled platelets were tested for their ability to detect thr… Show more

“…Recently, localization and quantification of platelet-rich thrombi in large blood vessels were performed with fluorescence-labeled platelets, which allowed imaging of clot formation and real-time imaging of thrombolysis. 24 In this approach, 3.6ϫ10 10 in vitro-labeled platelets were used to achieve good contrast properties. Conversely, the in vivo MR approach reported here uses only an exogenous reagent and does not require subject-specific preparation, which would not be practicable in the context of acute thrombotic syndromes.…”
