Figure 2
Phase-contrast SR high-resolution radiography images (a, b) and a histological image (c) of the fourth digit of the normal frontal limb. (a) Overlaying X-ray SR image of the whole length of the digit clearly shows joints, the alignment of phalanges and the status of the surrounding soft tissue. (b) Single SR image of a 1.18 mm × 0.89 mm field of view allows identification of articular cartilage (arrow), chondrocytes lacunae (L), subchondral bone and bone marrow space (M) of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) in detail. Scale bar = 500 µm. |
