Figure 2
An axial image of the XPCT (a, e), HE (b, f), Sirius red (c, g), and polarization of the Sirius red (d, h) in a normal chorda (upper row) and ruptured chorda (lower row). The mass density was 1.092 g cm−3 in the normal chorda (a) and 1.034 g cm−3 in the ruptured chordae (e). The differences in the mass density between the normal and ruptured chorda were consistent with the distribution of collagen fibers observed in the associated histological samples. XPCT – X-ray phase computed tomography; HE – hematoxylin-eosin.
