Contrast-enhanced micro-CT imaging in murine carotid arteries: a new protocol for computing wall shear stress

BACKGROUND: Wall shear stress (WSS) is involved in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. The correlation between WSS and atherosclerosis can be investigated over time using a WSS-manipulated atherosclerotic mouse model. To determine WSS in vivo, detailed 3D geometry of the vessel network is requir...
