Early detection and monitoring of cerebral ischemia using calcium-responsive MRI probes.


ABSTRACT: Cerebral ischemia is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability in infants and adults and its timely diagnosis is essential for an efficient treatment. We present a methodology for fast detection and real-time monitoring of fluctuations of calcium ions associated with focal ischemia using a molecular functional MRI approach. We used a dinuclear paramagnetic gadolinium(III) complex chelate that changes MR image contrast through its reversible interaction with extracellular calcium ions, while applying a remote transient middle cerebral artery occlusion as a model for ischemic stroke. Our method sensitively recognizes the onset and follows the dynamics of the ischemic core and penumbra with submillimeter spatial and second-scale temporal resolution, thus paving the way for noninvasive monitoring and development of targeted treatment strategies for cerebral ischemia.
