1 In this study, we determined the presence of FR-beta-expressing macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions by the use of a fluorine-18-labeled folate-based radiotracer. Folic Acid folate receptor beta Homo sapiens
2 Selectively targeting FR-beta-positive macrophages through folate-based radiopharmaceuticals may be useful for noninvasive imaging of plaque inflammation. Folic Acid folate receptor beta Homo sapiens
