Figure 2
A typical in vivo beam-eye-view X-ray image obtained for a rat head using our imaging methods. The principal anatomical characteristics are clearly visible: eye (E), skin (S), hair (H), ears (Ea), olfactory bulb (OB) and parietal lobe (PL). Furthermore, the skull surface (Sk), the bregma (B) and lambda (L), reference points used in the rat head atlas for stereotactic surgery, are easily located (arrows). |
