Dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysm in Ang II-infused mice: suprarenal branch ruptures and apparent luminal dilatation

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Jessica Sordet, Bram Trachet, Alessandra Piersigilli, Peter Modregger, Patrick Segers

Aims In this work, we provide novel insight into the morphology of dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysms in angiotensin II-infused mice. We demonstrate why they exhibit a large variation in shape and, unlike their human counterparts, are located suprarenal ...

Simultaneous submicrometric 3D imaging of the micro-vascular network and the neuronal system in a mouse spinal cord

Peter Modregger, Giuseppe Battaglia

Faults in vascular (VN) and neuronal networks of spinal cord are responsible for serious neurodegenerative pathologies. Because of inadequate investigation tools, the lacking knowledge of the complete fine structure of VN and neuronal system represents a c ...

Simple merging technique for improving resolution in qualitative single image phase contrast tomography

Peter Modregger, Zheng Wang, Marco Stampanoni

For dynamic samples and/or for simple ease-of-use experiments, single-image phase contrast tomography is a very effective method for the 3D visualization of materials which would otherwise be indiscernible in attenuation based x-ray imaging. With binary sa ...

Combining Monte Carlo methods with coherent wave optics for the simulation of phase-sensitive X-ray imaging

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Phase-sensitive X-ray imaging shows a high sensitivity towards electron density variations, making it well suited for imaging of soft tissue matter. However, there are still open questions about the details of the image formation process. Here, a framework ...

Living-Engineered Valves for Transcatheter Venous Valve Repair

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) represents a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and morbidity. CVI is due to an incompetence of the venous valves, which causes venous reflux and distal venous hypertension. Several studies ...

Two-dimensional ultra-small angle X-ray scattering with grating interferometry

Peter Modregger, Simon Rutishauser, Christian David, Marco Stampanoni

It was recently established that the pixel-wise ultra-small angle x-ray distribution can be retrieved with grating interferometry. However, in these one dimensional approaches the contrast was limited to the direction orthogonal to the structure of the lin ...

Multiple Scattering Tomography

Peter Modregger, Christian David, Marco Stampanoni

Multiple scattering represents a challenge for numerous modern tomographic imaging techniques. In this Letter, we derive an appropriate line integral that allows for the tomographic reconstruction of angular resolved scattering distributions, even in the p ...

Differential X-ray phase contrast tomography of Alzheimer plaques in mouse models: perspectives for drug development and clinical imaging techniques

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a looming threat on an ever-ageing population, with devastating effects on the human intellect. A particular characteristic lesion - the extracellular amyloid plaque - accumulates in the brain of AD patients during the course of ...

Iterative FBP For Improved Reconstruction Of X-Ray Differential Phase-Contrast Tomograms

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Masih Nilchian, Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

X-ray differential phase-contrast tomography is a recently-developed modality for the imaging of low-contrast biological samples. Its mathematical model is based on the first derivative of the Radon transform and the images, in practice, are reconstructed ...
