Micro-magnetic resonance imaging of ex vivo mouse embryos with potato starch suspension

Micro-magnetic resonance imaging of ex vivo mouse embryos with potato starch suspension

Summary: Potato starch suspension (PSS) holds promise as a solution to issues, such as air bubbles and specimen motion, associated with micro-magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) of ex vivo embryos. Here, we present a protocol for using PSS when scanning specimens with micro-MRI. We describe steps...
