Measurements of blood flow in mouse carotid arteries with MRI indicate abnormal blood blow in mice with increased RDW. (A) Localization of vessels. (B) Maximum spatio-temporal volumetric flow rate through the external arteries. (C) Maximum spatio-temporal area fraction in which 75% of the total volumetric flow rate through the external arteries is found. (D) Temporal standard deviation over one cardiac cycle of the area fractions for 75% of the total volumetric flow through the external arteries. Graphs indicate measurements for anemic mice (Anemia), control mice (Control), Epo-treated mice (EPO), transgenic mice thalassemic Hbb (HBB) and mice with implanted CT26 colon cancer (CT26). Each dot represents one measurement of a different animal. Figure was created in Matlab (The MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA).
