Three-dimensional vascular architecture of tumors was imaged at 100-micron isotropic resolution. The image data showed good qualitative correlation with pathologic findings. The approach holds promise for studying tumor angiogenesis and for evaluating anti-angiogenesis therapies.angiogenesisbreast cancerliposomemicro-CTmolecular imagingsmall animal imagingAnimalsCell Line, TumorContrast MediaFemaleIopamidolLiposomesMammary Neoplasms, AnimalMammographyNanoparticlesRadiographic Image EnhancementRatsRats, Inbred F344Tomography, X-Ray ComputedMicro-CT imaging of breast tumors in rodents using a liposomal, nanoparticle contrast agent.Journal article1178-2013
