QSM Flythrough -</b> A brief overview of the Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) process. A mouse is scanned using a typical multi-echo gradient echo 3D MRI sequence and modeled for 3D analysis. QSM reconstructions allow for localized observation and quantification of super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles in specific areas of the subject. <!-- End Player 1-->   <!-- Player 2--> <div id="player2" style="width:640px; height:360px"></div> <script language="JavaScript"> flowplayer("player2", "/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.5.swf", { playlist: [ { url: '/videos/stacked-liver-preroll.png', scaling: 'orig' }, { url: '/videos/stacked-liver-compressed.mp4', autoPlay: false, scaling: 'orig' } ] }); </script> <p><b>Figure 2. QSM Heatmaps of the Liver - 1 Hour Post Nanoparticle Injection - </b> Representative image volumes of a mouse treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to induce a sepsis-like condition, and injected with Leukocyte-Mimetic Nanoparticles (LMN) capable of specific delivery of SPIO nanoparticles to areas of acute inflammation. Control mice, not treated with LPS or injected with non-biospecific Non-Targeting Nanoparticles (NTN), are shown for comparison. QSM analysis shows considerable aggregation of SPIO in the liver in LPS positive cases injected with LMN, shown here as more intense colors over a T2* weighted greyscale navigational aid. <!-- End Player 2-->   <!-- Player 3--> <div id="player3" style="width:640px; height:360px"></div> <script language="JavaScript"> flowplayer("player3", "/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.5.swf", { playlist: [ { url: '/videos/stacked-spleen-preroll.png', scaling: 'orig' }, { url: '/videos/stacked-spleen-compressed.mp4', autoPlay: false, scaling: 'orig' } ] }); </script> <p><b>Figure 3.
