An oblique slice through reconstructed 100 micron/voxel micro-CT from a live mouse, on the left, shows the LV blood highlighted by contrast agent and motion blur suppressed due to 10 ms x-ray pulse width. MRM imaging of a fixed heart at 20 micron resolution, at right, reveals substantial anatomical detail that cannot be resolved in live mouse imaging. High precision measurements of LV blood volumes have to account for these unresolved features. (Note: The micro-CT is digitally zoomed to 400%.)
