Microstructural and mechanical insight into atherosclerotic plaques - an ex vivo DTI study to better assess plaque vulnerability

This study uses ex vivo DTI to link microstructural features of atherosclerotic plaques with mechanical properties, showing that uniform microstructures are more prone to rupture.

Exploring DTI-derived metrics to non-invasively track recellularisation in vascular tissue engineering

This study uses DTI to non-invasively track recellularisation in vascular grafts, showing changes in fractional anisotropy correlate with cell density.

Diffusion tensor imaging and arterial tissue: establishing the influence of arterial tissue microstructure on fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity and tractography

This study examines how microstructural changes in arterial tissue affect diffusion tensor imaging metrics, finding that cell content significantly influences anisotropy and tractography.
