Due to a high rate of in-stent re-stenoses, there is the need of a noninvasive imaging method for the early detection of stent occlusion. The evaluation of the stent lumen with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited by material-induced artifacts. The purpose of this work is to investigate the potential of the tracer-based modality magnetic particle imaging (MPI) for stent lumen visualization and quantification.Methods: In this in vitro study, 21 endovascular stents were investigated in a preclinical MPI scanner. Therefore, the stents were implanted in vessel phantoms. For the signal analysis, the phantoms were scanned without tracer material, and the signal-to-noise-ratio was analyzed. For the evaluation of potential artifacts and the lumen quantification, the phantoms were filled with diluted tracer agent. To calculate the stent lumen diameter a calibrated threshold value was applied.Results: We can show that it is possible to visualize the lumen of a variety of endovascular stents without material induced artifacts, as the stents do not generate sufficient signals in MPI. The stent lumen quantification showed a direct correlation between the calculated and nominal diameter (r = 0.98).Conclusion: In contrast to MRI and CT, MPI is able to visualize and quantify stent lumina very accurately.Keywords: magnetic particle imaging, endovascular stents, artifacts, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, lumen quantificationWegner Fvon Gladiss AHaegele JGrzyska USieren MMStahlberg EOechtering THLüdtke-Buzug KBarkhausen JBuzug TMFriedrich TDove Medical Pressarticlemagnetic particle imagingendovascular stentsartifactssuperparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticleslumen quantificationMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 213-221 (2021)
