Whole heart geometry and detailed morphology assessment by PB-X-PCI. (a) Illustrative longitudinal PB-X-PCI virtual cut of the WKY heart at 5.8 μm pixel size (LR). (b) 3D volume rendered image showing the detailed internal structure of both ventricles extracted from the PB-X-PCI dataset in (a). (c) Illustrative longitudinal PB-X-PCI virtual cut of the LAD heart at 5.8 μm pixel size (LR). (d) 3D volume rendered image of the detailed internal structure of both ventricles and the infarcted region, extracted from the PB-X-PCI dataset in (c). (e) 3D detailed visualization of the aortic valve and surrounding structures in the SHR heart. (f) PB-X-PCI image (reconstructed with Paganin’s method) of the pectinate muscles in the left atrial appendage, as well as large coronary arteries in the myocardial wall of the SHR heart.
