Simultaneous three-dimensional vascular and tubular imaging of whole mouse kidneys with X-ray µCT

<p>&micro;CT dataset of a mouse kidney injected with contrast agent XlinCA and scanned with 3.3 &micro;m voxel size. Detailed sample preparation and image acquisition protocols are published as <a href="https://doi.org/10.1017/S1431927620001725">&quot;Simultaneous three-dimensional vascular and tubular imaging of whole mouse kidneys with X-ray &micro;CT&quot;</a> in <em>Microscopy and Microanalysis</em>.</p> <p>Segmentations of the vascular and tubular lumina along with the renal tissue are provided as masks. The three different segmented features were combined into a single dataset and encoded as different gray values:</p> <p>0: Background<br> 51: Tubules<br> 204: Tissue<br> 255: Blood vessels</p> <p>The Supplemental Video features a computer graphics visualization of the segmented masks. Blood vessel lumina are rendered in red, tissue in transparent blue and tubular lumina in yellow.</p>
