Fig 3. Phase contrast radiography of human sciatic nerve in axial (a) and longitudinal sections (b).

Fig 3

Dose in each radiographic image was 0.2 μGy. Detail of the axial section is shown in (c), with the corresponding optical microscope image in (d). Phase contrast radiography shows nerve fascicles (nf), arterioles (thin arrow), venules (thick arrow), epineurium (solid square), perineurium (ellipse) and nerve fibers (hollow square). For validation of the structures, the corresponding optical microscope image is shown in (d).
