In an effort to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral vascular alteration
after stroke, the authors measured the spatial and temporal profiles of blood–brain barrier …

During the last couple of years virtual endoscopic systems (VES) have emerged as standard
tools that are nowadays close to be utilized in daily clinical practice. Such tools render …

Root systems play an important role in soil-based resource acquisition. The ability to
quantify the structural complexity of a root system should lead to an improved understanding …

Map‐like visualizations of patient‐specific cardiovascular structures have been applied in
numerous medical application contexts. The term map‐like alludes to the characteristics …

Angiogenesis promotes tumor growth and invasiveness in brain. Because brain injury often
induces expression of angiogenic‐promoting molecules, we hypothesize that oxidative …

Analyzing stenoses of the internal carotids–local constrictions of the artery–is a critical
clinical task in cardiovascular disease treatment and prevention. For this purpose, we …

To improve our understanding of the role of root systems in soil-based resource acquisition
by plants and eventually model it completely, root system complexity must be quantified, in …

We tested whether low-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) induces an angiogenic response
in the normal brain of nude mice (n= 20). Normal brains of nude mice were subjected to PDT …

Purpose The detection and classification of hepatic vessels in diagnostic images are
essential for hepatic pre-surgery planning. Our team has developed a tool for classification …

A new method for fully automated centerline extraction and quantification of microvascular
structures in confocal microscopy (CM) images is presented. Our method uses the idea of …
