Diffusion tensor imaging and arterial tissue: establishing the influence of arterial tissue microstructure on fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity and tractography
Tornifoglio, Brooke; Lally, Caitriona (2021)In this study we investigated the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for providing insight into microstructural changes in arterial tissue by exploring the influence that cell, collagen and elastin content have ... -
Ex Vivo Study Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging to Identify Biomarkers of Atherosclerotic Disease in Human Cadaveric Carotid Arteries
Tornifoglio, Brooke; Kerskens, Christian; Lally, Caitriona (2022)Background: This study aims to address the potential of ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging to provide insight into the microstructural composition and morphological arrangement of aged human atherosclerotic carotid ... -
Melt electrowritten scaffold architectures to mimic tissue mechanics and guide neo-tissue orientation
Tornifoglio, Brooke; Kelly, Daniel; Hoey, David (2024)All human tissues present with unique mechanical properties critical to their function. This is achieved in part through the specific architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) fibres within each tissue. An example of ... -
Microstructural and mechanical insight into atherosclerotic plaques: an ex vivo DTI study to better assess plaque vulnerability
Tornifoglio, Brooke; Kerskens, Christian; Lally, Caitriona (2023)Non-invasive microstructural characterisation has the potential to determine the stability, or lack thereof, of atherosclerotic plaques and ultimately aid in better assessing plaques’ risk to rupture. If linked with ...
