Many pre-clinical studies are carried out on clinical MRI systems due to translational possibilities and availability of technology. For small sample sizes, an adapted coil to give high signal intensity is needed. Diagnostic potential of signal loss and positive contrast difference Ultrashort Echo (dUTE) sequences for iron oxide nanoparticle detection (amino-PVA-SPIONs) was compared in a mouse model of antigen induced arthritis. SPION administration routes and doses in arthritic and control knees are compared for synovial uptake with high sample throughput.
