Assessment of Elastase-Induced Murine Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Comparison of Ultrasound Imaging with In Situ Video Microscopy

Figure 1

Aortic diameter measurement by VM. Inner lumen of the region of interest was traced and maximum diameter was measured in the transverse direction ((e), (f), (g)). (h) White arrows demarcate the luminal edge of aorta perfused with elastase. Black bars = 1 mm. White bars = 500 μm.
