A new method for visualizing pulmonary artery microvasculature using synchrotron radiation pulmonary microangiography: the measurement of pulmonary arterial blood flow velocity in the high pulmonary blood flow rat model.

Conclusions These novel results demonstrate that SRPA was useful in both visualizing the dynamic flow distribution within the microvasculature and calculating PBF velocity. This newly developed, non-invasive technology may become a powerful tool in clarifying the mechanism of vascular remodeling associated with high PBF-induced shear stress.
