Scalable engineered blood vessels would improve clinical applicability. Using easily sizable 3D-printed guides, rings of vascular smooth muscle were created and stacked into a tubular form, forming a vascular graft. Grafts can be sized to meet the range of human coronary artery dimensions by simply changing the 3D-printed guide size.

Changes in ovarian blood flow during the preovulatory period are essential for ovulation. Doppler ultrasonography has been used in humans and large animals to assess ovarian hemodynamics and perfusion. A protocol is presented for applying Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate ovarian hemodynamics during the preovulatory and periovulatory phases in mice.
FAQs
Image reconstruction organizes cross-sectional measurements into a coherent map of vessel pathways and dimensions. Instead of viewing each slice independently, clinicians and researchers can inspect how vessels extend through three-dimensional space and evaluate their structure as a connected system. This supports more complete assessment of vascular anatomy than isolated two-dimensional views.
Compared with isolated two-dimensional images, the three-dimensional representation preserves spatial relationships among vessel segments. That broader view can make the extent and location of abnormalities easier to assess, particularly when evaluating aneurysms, stenosis, or thrombosis. The added anatomical context also informs decisions about monitoring and intervention.
Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound can supply the cross-sectional data used to create vascular reconstructions. These modalities provide the imaging input, while reconstruction organizes the information into a three-dimensional representation. Using multiple possible sources makes the approach applicable across different forms of vascular assessment in medicine and research.
A typical workflow begins by acquiring cross-sectional vascular data with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. Contrast agents may be used during acquisition, after which image reconstruction maps vessel pathways and dimensions. The resulting representation can then be examined for anatomy, structure, and blood flow, supporting diagnosis, monitoring, or procedural planning.
Clinicians apply these models to diagnose and monitor aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, and other vascular disorders. Because the representation shows vessel anatomy and pathways in three dimensions, it can also support planning for minimally invasive procedures and surgery. Its value is therefore both diagnostic and practical, linking vascular assessment with decisions about treatment approach.
In research, 3D vascular imaging provides a way to study circulation, vascular development, and treatment outcomes. Investigators can use reconstructed vascular information to examine anatomy and blood flow in a spatially integrated form. This broader representation helps connect structural features of vessels with studies of vascular biology and responses to treatment.
