Synchrotron-based visualization and segmentation of elastic lamellae in the mouse carotid artery during quasi-static pressure inflation: 2D segmentations

Le résumé fourni par la source

This dataset contains 2D segmentations of images that were obtained during quasi-static pressure inflation of mouse carotid arteries. Images were taken with phase propagation imaging at the X02DA TOMCAT beamline of the Swiss Light Source synchrotron at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland. Scans of n=12 left carotid arteries (n-6 Apoe-deficient mice, n=6 wild-type mice, all on a C57Bl6J background) were taken at pressure levels of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, 90 and 120 mmHg. For analysis we selected 75 images from the center of each stack (starting at the center of the stack, and skipping 2 of every three images in both cranial and caudal axial directions) for each sample and for each pressure level, resulting in a total of 75 x 12 x 9 = 8100 analyzed images from 108 different scans. Segmentation algorithm, 3D visualization and geometric analysis are presented in the corresponding manuscript. Files are uploaded in .jpg format and are named: lamella_slicenumber, with slicenumber varying from 1 to 8100. There is also a Matlab file, UndulationData_Zenodo.mat, in which all the relevant variables post analysis are stored. This file contains a variable called "myFiles", which contains the link between the slicenumbers used here and the original dataset that is published in Zenodo (.tif synchrotron images).
