Figure 5

Comparison of SPIO detected by serial MRI.

The SPIO signal strength, the signal contrast ratio (%) and the low signal area compared with the normal myocardium at different time points after cell transplantation. * indicates P < 0.05, the MSCs group at 2 and 4 weeks after cell transplantation compared with 3 days after transplantation. The signal intensity of normal myocardium which we detected was 1797.27 ± 231.38. N = 7,8,8,7 for MSCs group at 3 days, 1 w, 2 w, 4 w after MSCs injection respectively.
