Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced MRI in experimental models of infectious disease and to analyze the intracellular uptake of SPIO. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Nine rats with infectious arthritis of the knee or soft-tissue infection were imaged on an MRI unit on days 4-6 after IV injection of a bacterial suspension. All animals were imaged on a T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence before and 24 hours after administration of SPIO. The nine rats were classified into two groups according to the dose of SPIO. We calculated the relative signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) change and compared the relative SNR change with the histologic findings. We analyzed iron-loaded cells and the intracellular uptake of iron particles according to the dose of SPIO. RESULTS. The SNR value decreased in proportion to the increase in the number of iron-laden macrophages or fibroblasts in the wall of the soft-tissue abscess (p < 0.01). The intracellular uptake of iron particles was shown in fibroblasts as well as in macrophages, and their uptake in the fibroblasts was greater than that in the macrophages (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the intracellular uptake of iron particles according to the dose of SPIO (p > 0.1). CONCLUSION. SPIO-enhanced MRI can be useful in evaluating infectious disease of the joint or soft tissue and is influenced by the uptake of iron particles in fibroblasts as well as macrophages. © American Roentgen Ray Society.
