Fig. 7.
Visualization of bony structures. The processed SWI phase image of a fetus on GD17 is shown (0.08 × 0.08 × 0.7 mm3) (a). The corresponding slice from a high-resolution (0.058 × 0.058 × 0.58 mm3) atlas was adopted from the Caltech open source Mouse Atlas (http://mouseatlas.caltech.edu/) [69, 77] (b, c). pVC = Processes of the vertebral columns; RB = ribs; VC = vena cava; VT = veins in the thorax. Note the difference in contrast between the veins and the bones.
