X-ray micro tomography of pathology tissue samples

这是与NHLBI的Alan Remaley博士和临床中心的亚历山大Bocharov博士的持续合作。使用我们以前开发的x射线显微镜技术，我们对来自我们合作者的各种转基因小鼠模型的完整的新鲜小鼠主动脉样本中的组织钙化量进行了非侵入性测量。作为技术开发工作的一部分，我们发布了一种在线校准方法，以提高扫描分辨率1。我们所做的测量有助于研究富含不同类型不饱和脂肪酸的大豆油对遗传小鼠模型中动脉粥样硬化发展的差异效应2。为了进一步简化大量样品的测量过程，我们正在开发一种倒置的X射线显微镜，以更好地处理样品。 1.

This is a continuing collaboration with Dr. Alan Remaley of NHLBI and Dr. Alexander Bocharov of the Clinincal Center. Using an x-ray microscopy technology we developed previously, we perform non-invasive measurements of the amount of tissue calcification in intact, fresh moue aorta samples for the various genetically modified moue models from our collaborators. As part of the technical development effort we published an online calibration method to improve the resolution of the scans 1. The measurements we made contributed to a study of the differential effect of soybean oil enriched with different types of unsaturated fatty acids on the development of atherosclerosis in a genetic mouse model 2. To further streamline the measurement process for a large number of samples, we are developing an inverted version of the x-ray microscope for better sample handling. 1.
