In ovo monitoring of smooth muscle fiber development in the chick embryo: diffusion tensor imaging with histologic correlation.
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive method of evaluating embryonic development. Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, which is based on the measuring the directional diffusivity of water molecules, is an established method of evaluating tissue structure. Prolonged imaging...
