Detection of Aortic Arch Calcification in Apolipoprotein E‐Null Mice Using Carbon Nanotube–Based Micro‐CT System

Abstract

A novel CNT-based micro-CT is a useful tool to evaluate vascular calcifications in living mice. Quantification from acquired images suggests higher susceptibility to calcification of the aortic arch plaques in 129-apoE KO than in B6-apoE KO mice.
