5.3 AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN THE MICROMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF OVINE AORTA

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) images have a spatial resolution at 1 GHz comparable to conventional optical microscopy. Each pixel in the image can be analysed to determine mechanical properties, allowing their precise correlation with microstructural components of tissue. Although loss of elast...
