Top row: Representative collagen orientation at 40% through the vessel wall (from the lumen) for a left proximal region. Note the uncrimping from 0 and 70 to 130 mmHg. Middle row: Representative elastin orientation for the same vessel at the intima. The white arrows are indicative of elastin bundles that exhibited the majority of the void ratio changes. Note how the image at 0 mmHg has elastin folding as indicated by the bright and dark bands in the elastin macrobundles. Bottom row: Thresholding of the elastin images showing the increase in void. Scale bar is 50 μm.
