Optimized murine lung preparation for detailed structural evaluation via micro-computed tomography.
Utilizing micro-X-ray CT (μCT) imaging, we sought to generate an atlas of in vivo and intact/ex vivo lungs from normal murine strains. In vivo imaging allows visualization of parenchymal density and small airways (15-28 μm/voxel). Ex vivo imaging of the intact lung via μCT allows for improved understanding of the three-dimensional lung architecture at the alveolar level with voxel dimensions of...
متن کاملMicro-Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Bone Architecture
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an emerging technique for the nondestructive assessment and analysis of the three-dimensional trabecular bone structure. Trabecular bone consists of a complicated three-dimensional network of plates and rods, arranged in a lattice-like network [1]. Aging, disease process, and therapeutic agents could influence the number of elements in this network, their...
متن کاملMicro computed tomography for vascular exploration
Vascular exploration of small animals requires imaging hardware with a very high spatial resolution, capable of differentiating large as well as small vessels, in both in vivo and ex vivo studies. Micro Computed Tomography (micro-CT) has emerged in recent years as the preferred modality for this purpose, providing high resolution 3D volumetric data suitable for analysis, quantification, validat...

Micro-computed tomography (μCT) has been successfully used to study the cardiovascular system of mouse embryos in situ. With the use of barium as a suitablecontrast agent, blood vessels have beenimaged and analysed quantitatively such asblood volume and vessel sizes on embryosof ages 14.5 to 16.5 days old. The advantageof using this imaging modality is that it hasprovide...
متن کاملMicro-CT for characterization of murine CV disease models.
t can hardly be argued that cardiac imaging methodologies argeting small-animal models have been crucial for rapidly ransitioning therapies from bench to bedside. The adaptation f ultrasound for imaging murine hearts, for example, has llowed characterization of the developing and adult rodent eart, making it an essential tool for the study of developmenal biology and cardiovascular disease.
