Aortic Remodeling and Thrombus Deposition in Murine Aneurysms and Dissections
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
