Microtubule depolymerization rapidly collapses capillary tube networks in vitro and angiogenic vessels in vivo through the small GTPase Rho. (xenbase.org)
High density OCT images can significantly improve the image quality and enhance the visualization of especially the structure of small retinal pathologies. (arvojournals.org)
The devices were so large, however, that they could only fit into the most capacious blood vessels, and they wouldn't work at all in small animals like rodents. (stanford.edu)
The electrodes she initially made when trying to attack this problem were so small and flexible-much less than the size of a single human hair-that they would immediately crumple if threaded into a blood vessel. (stanford.edu)
TMA is a syndrome that involves clotting in the small blood vessels and has been identified as a potential cause for severe manifestations of COVID-19 in adults. (medicalxpress.com)

Promising to achieve new radiation medical imaging systems. (hamamatsu.com)
The impact of vessel density on the radiation response was studied by removing a number of randomly selected vessels. (lu.se)
Although radiation exposure from imaging is very low, children are slightly more likely to be affected by radiation than adults. (cdc.gov)
As in many areas of medicine, there are risks associated with the use of medical imaging which uses ionizing radiation to create images of the body. (cdc.gov)
Also, for more information on radiation safety in adult medical imaging, please visit the Image Wisely website . (cdc.gov)

Therefore, the validation of complementary or alternative methods for in vivo imaging of intrinsic FC is an important scientific objective. (nature.com)

The authors constructed a theoretical 3D model based on histological images to analyze the influence of vessel density and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration on the response to irradiation. (lu.se)

The vessels could be observed as high contrast features on the images. (spie.org)

Analysis of the human fundus eye images has become the key point for diagnosing the various pathologies of retinal vasculature. (hindawi.com)

In all patients, the presumed responsible blood vessels depicted by 3D-FSE MR imaging corresponded to intraoperative findings. (ajnr.org)
The findings underscore the importance of getting your blood pressure checked regularly and treating it if it's high, she said. (heart.org)
The findings were published today in Blood Advances . (medicalxpress.com)
