Figure 3 Maximum intensity projection and voxel gradient shading from a normal pig coronary artery demonstrated different origination and spatial distribution of vasa vasorum (voxel size, 28 µm). First-order vasa vasorum are indicated by white arrows. Second-order vasa vasorum are indicated by black triangles. A coronary vein is also visualized (asterisk).
