Figure 1From: Quantifying blood-spinal cord barrier permeability after peripheral nerve injury in the living mouse Transverse T1-weighted MR images of the mouse spinal cord. (a) A BALB/c mouse from the control treatment group before injection of Gd-DTPA and (b) after injection of Gd-DTPA; (c) a control CD-1 mouse and (d) a SNI CD-1 mouse at 29.5 hours after the surgery. These images illustrate the inherently low spatial resolution of in vivo MRI measurements in small animals such as mice. Scale bar = 1 mm.Back to article page
