Administration of collagen-targeted PET and allysine-targeted MR probes led to elevated PET-magnetic resonance imaging signals in the myocardium and lungs of TAC mice. The study demonstrates the potential to detect fibrosis and fibrogenesis in cardiopulmonary disease through a dual molecular PET-magnetic resonance imaging protocol.
