Synchrotron-based propagation-based imaging (PBI). (a) Tissue section of splenic lobe of porcine pancreas with RVC; axial plane. Highly vascularized areas can be identified in defined soft-tissue sections (dashed sections). (b) Section of 3D-reconstruction of segmented vascular network (color-coded vessel diameter analysis). (c) 3D-reconstruction of segmented vascular network in translucent paraffin (upper left corner: surface marker). (d) Section of 3D-reconstruction of segmented vascular tree (dashed section: (b)). (e) Volume distribution of segmented vascular network by vessel diameter. Scale bar 100 µm (a,b), 500 µm (c,d).
