From: Multiscale X-ray phase-contrast CT unveils the evolution of bile infarct in obstructive biliary disease

Fig. 5

a The volume rendering of the liver lobes reveals the vessels and the bile infarcts at 3.25 µm pixel size. b The volume rendering of the volume of the interest at 0.65 µm pixel size in (a). Asterisks indicate bile infarct; black arrows indicate vessels. c CT slices and 3D surface reconstruction of the individual bile infarcts. d CT slices and 3D surface reconstruction of the confluent bile infarcts. e The volume quantification of the individual bile infarcts and the confluent bile infarcts, and the composition of the infarcts in each group. The horizontal lines of the box plots represent the maximum, upper quartile, median, lower quartile, and minimum values. ** = P < 0.01, *** = P < 0.001 and ns = no significance. The source data underlying this figure can be found in Supplementary Data 1.
