High-Resolution and Quantitative X-Ray Phase-Contrast Tomography for Mouse Brain Research

Figure 3

Comparison between P-PCI and conventional absorption-based X-ray imaging. The air-filled mouse brain was imaged by P-PCI method (a) and absorption-based X-ray imaging method (b), respectively, bar: 500 μm. An enlarged view of the area outlined by the white dashed box in (a) is shown in (c), bar: 100 μm. (d) and (e) plot intensity profiles of the cross-lines over blood vessels suggested by the blue and red arrows in (a) and (c).
