Ultrasound-Based Three-Dimensional Microangiography for Repeated Noninvasive Imaging of Neovascularization

Figure 1

Illustration of the SCI models, and high-frequency ultrasound imaging setup: (a) the exposed spinal cord is either injured by a contusion trauma (falling rod) or a transection injury using a microscissor; (b) the high-frequency ultrasound setup with a remote joystick connected to a micromanipulator, which holds the ultrasound transducer. Ultrasound images were obtained according to the direction of the arrow.
