The trimodal nanoagent utilized in this study was able to correlate macrophage burden with PET signal. It was also able to demonstrate localization to atherosclerotic lesions by both MRI and fluorescence imaging.

This is the first example of a long circulating nanoparticulate construct for the detection of MPO activity in vivo. Although used in MI, this probe will demonstrate utility in a number of conditions with inflammatory components, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer.

This article establishes that the detection of transplant rejection need not be an invasive procedure. Instead, noninvasive determination of macrophage infiltration may serve a diagnostic/prognostic role.
