Abstract
Damaged vasculature and the resulting impaired blood circulation in organs can cause pathological injuries, such as organ failure and stroke.1 Therefore, vascular imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, follow-up of disease progression, and assessment of treatment efficacy.2 Assessment of vascular structure in rodent models is key to quantitate organ vasculature.3,4 This quantitation could be beneficial in analyzing pathological conditions, such as hypertension,5 diabetes,6 and retinopathy7 as well as changes induced by environmental or chemical agents such as radiation8 or drugs.9 Vascular imaging is also important to study therapeutic angiogenesis.10Keywords
