Liver fibrosis is a common pathway shared by all forms of progressive chronic liver disease. There is an unmet clinical need for noninvasive imaging tools to diagnose and stage fibrosis, which presently relies heavily on percutaneous liver biopsy. Here we explored the feasibility of using a novel type I collagen-targeted manganese (Mn)-based MRI probe, Mn-CBP20, for liver fibrosis imaging.

Background: Aging-associated left ventricular dysfunction promotes cardiopulmonary fibrogenic remodeling, Group 2 pulmonary hypertension (PH), and right ventricular failure. At the time of diagnosis, cardiac function has declined, and cardiopulmonary fibrosis has often developed. Here, we sought to develop a molecular positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol to detect both cardiopulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic disease activity in a left ventricular dysfunction model.

Currently, inadequate early diagnostic methods hinder the prompt treatment of patients with heart failure and myocardial fibrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard noninvasive diagnostic method; however, its effectiveness is constrained by low resolution and challenges posed by certain patients who cannot undergo the procedure. Although enhanced computed tomography (CT) offers high resolution, challenges arise owing to the unclear differentiation between fibrotic and normal myocardial tissue.

Chronic lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are major leading causes of death worldwide and are generally associated with poor prognoses. The heterogeneous distribution of collagen, mainly type I collagen associated with excessive collagen deposition, plays a pivotal role in the progressive remodeling of the lung parenchyma to chronic exertional dyspnea for both IPF and COPD. To address the pressing need for noninvasive early diagnosis and drug treatment monitoring of pulmonary fibrosis, we report the development of human collagen-targeted protein MRI contrast agent (hProCA32.

The aim of this study was to determine the biodistribution, dosimetry, and pharmacokinetics of Ga-CBP8 in healthy human subjects. Nine healthy volunteers (5 male and 4 female) underwent whole-body Ga-CBP8 PET/MRI using a Biograph mMR scanner.
