Multimodality molecular imaging is capable of identifying early pathological cellular activities in aortic valve disease in vivo.
Abstract
Molecular imaging can detect in vivo the key cellular events in early aortic valve disease, including endothelial cell and macrophage activation, proteolytic activity, and osteogenesis.
