From: Elastic fiber alterations and calcifications in calcific uremic arteriolopathy
Quantitative analysis of elastic fiber structure based on their intrinsic fluorescence visualized using multiphoton microscopy. (A) Mid-dermis of a ESRD biopsy, showing normal elastic fibers. (B) Mid-dermis of a ESRD + CUA biopsy, showing straight and fragmented elastic fibers (arrow heads). (C) Segmentation of the elastic fibers of panel (A). (D) Segmentation of the elastic fibers of panel (B). (E) Comparison of the eccentricity of the elastic fibers between ESRD + CUA and ESRD (p = 0.044).
