3D X-ray microtomography applied to structural and mechanical characterization of arterial trees

The authors applied micro-CT imaging to arterial trees in rodent lungs. Morphometric features derived from the images are sensitive to interspecies differences in vascular structure and can reflect the distensibility of arterial walls.
