Figure 2: (a) Schematic diagram outlining the inflammatory process (b) Carotid endarterectomy, indicating major stenoses at the bifurcation of the common into the internal and external carotid arteries (arrow). (c) Ultra high field magnetic resonance imaging of the aortic roots of ApoE-/-mice, placed on a western-type diet for 26 weeks shows marked loss in signal intensity after administration of (USPIO-VCAM) contrast agent, illustrated by red arrows around the wall of the aortic root. (d) SECARS image shows intracellular iron uptakes in smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells
