Biophotonics Modalities for High-Resolution Imaging of Microcirculatory Tissue Beds Using Endogenous Contrast: A Review on Present Scenario and Prospects
Figure 11
(a) 3D volumetric projection image of the cochlear microvascular network. The vessels imaged here are of the modiolus (Mo) and the otic capsule, lateral wall, and stria vascularis of the cochlear turns that were located within the penetration depth of our imaging system. Apical vessels (A), middle turn vessels (M), and basal turn vessels (B). Radiating arterioles over the middle turn are indicated by arrowheads. (b) 3D volumetric perfusion image of the entire cochlea imaged. Image is reproduced from [143].
