Delayed contrast enhancement imaging of a murine model for ischemia reperfusion with carbon nanotube micro-CT.
We aim to demonstrate the application of free-breathing prospectively gated carbon nanotube (CNT) micro-CT by evaluating a myocardial infarction model with a delayed contrast enhancement technique.Evaluation of murine cardiac models using micro-CT imaging has historically been limited by extreme imaging requirements.Newly-developed CNT-based x-ray
