Virtual tissue slice based on spinal cord 3D rendering. (a) Based on the cross-sectional schematic view, the spinal cord is composed of a butterfly area, referred to as gray matter, and white matter. (b, c) The spinal cord white matter, gray matter, vasculature and central canal are distinguishable in the virtual tissue slices from different perspectives (transverse, sagittal). The blue arrow indicates the micro-vascular of the spinal cord, the black arrow indicates the central canal, the red dovetail arrow indicates the white matter and the white dovetail arrow indicates the gray matter in the spinal cord. |
