This is a recording of NAVBO's first Technology Workshop featuring the Vevo F2 from FUJIFILM VisualSonics, Inc.
Aortic Remodeling and Thrombus Deposition in Murine Aneurysms and Dissections
- Murine models can be used to examine the pathophysiology of aortic diseases, including aortic aneurysms and dissections
- The Vevo high frequency ultrasound systems can be used to collect 4-dimensional images of murine aortic aneurysms and dissections noninvasively
- Histology can be used to quantify changes in extracellular matrix composition of murine arteries
- Scanning electron microscopy can be used to evaluate red blood cell morphology and fibrin deposition in constantly remodeling thrombus
