Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To develop methods to quantify cyclic strain, motion, and curvature of the murine abdominal aorta in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: C57BL/6J and apoE(-/-) mice underwent three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight MR angiography to position cardiac-gated 2D slices at four locations along the abdominal aorta where circumferential cyclic strain and lumen centroid motion were calculated. From the 3D data, a...
