Retrospective gating (RG) is a well established technique in preclinical computed
tomography (CT) to assess 3D morphology of the lung. In RG additional angular projections …

Respiratory health is directly linked to the structural and mechanical properties of the
airways of the lungs. For studying respiratory development and pathology, the ability to …

Background Despite advances in imaging techniques, real-time visualization of the structure
and dynamics of tissues and organs inside small living animals has remained elusive …

We have developed an x-ray imaging system for in vivo four-dimensional computed
tomography (4DCT) of small animals for pre-clinical lung investigations. Our customized …

This study was performed to observe microstructures of the rat lung, using a synchrotron
radiation beam and to compare findings with histological observations. X‐ray refraction …

For those who are working in the field of medical X-ray imaging, it is well known that there
are three substances that can be readily visualized in a human body: bone, air, and contrast …

Objectives: In studies of regenerative medicine, pathological evaluation is one of
indispensable methods to evaluate therapeutic effect in small animal experiments. It can …

Due to the complexity of the underlying pathomechanism, in vivo mouse lung-disease
models continue to be of great importance in preclinical respiratory research. Longitudinal …

Synchrotron radiation can be used as a light source in X-ray microscopy to acquire a high-
resolution image of a microscale object for tomography. However, numerous projections …

We have developed an x-ray imaging system for in vivofour-dimensional computed
tomography (4DCT) of small animals for pre-clinical lung investigations. Our customized …
