This study aims to investigate the uptake of the experimental ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO) contrast agent DDM43/34 (Schering AG, Berlin, Germany) by aortic atherosclerotic plaques using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3 T.

## Abstract Experimental data show accumulation of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles in atherosclerotic plaques. SPIO uptake occurred in plaques, suggesting an increased endothelial permeability and macrophage infiltrates as signs of inflammatory plaque activity. We incidentally observe
