YI 1.7 Transmural Quantification of Murine Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Density Distribution from 3D Microscopy Images
Purpose: Investigating the biomechanical role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in arteries requires knowledge of their structural distributions. Compared to histology, 3D microscopy offers non-destructive ex vivo imaging under realistic conditions [1]. Robust 3D segmentation of SMCs, however, is challe...
