Representative micro-CT results. (a) Macroscopic view of the ILT (Patient 3) after extraction with a sample cut through the ILT thickness, showing the different layers where L and A stand for luminal and abluminal, respectively. (b) 2D micro-CT slice of the sample showing the different structures for all layers. One VOI was defined for each ILT layer using Dragonfly software, version 2022.2 (https://www.theobjects.com/dragonfly). (c) 3D porosity maps for all ILT layers obtained using 26-connectivity algorithm from iMorph software, version 2022.09 (https://imorph.sourceforge.net/). Colormap: each color corresponds to a unique interconnected pore network.
