 | Three-dimensional rotational angiography in murine models: a technical note. | f2-cln64_12p1234: 2D Angiographic image of aortic bifurcation. Superimposition and overlapping determine loss of three-dimensional information; for example, it is impossible to resolve the angle of bifurcation of the arteriesBottom Line: Not Available. | Ortiz-Velázquez RI, Caldas JG, Lobo BC, Santos-Franco JA, et al. - Clinics (Sao Paulo) (2009) |

 | A sample-saving method for heat capacity measurements on powders using relaxation calorimetry. | f0010: Photograph of 13.6Â mg powdered benzoic acid held in an Al pan and lid as described in the text and cut through the middle after PPMS measurement.Bottom Line: The resulting standard entropies agree with published reference values within 0.21% for the silicates, by 0.34% for corundum, and by 0.9% for powdered benzoic acid.The method thus allows entropy determinations on powders with an accuracy of better than 1%.The... | Dachs E, Benisek A - Cryogenics (Guildf) (2011) |

 | Flipper coil closure of patent ductus arteriosus. | Figure 23: Same patient as in figure 22. The deployment of a second coil completely eliminated the residual PDABottom Line: Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus is now a well established therapeutic option.In this paper, we illustrate step by step the technique of Flipper coil closure of small (<3mm) ducts. | Grech V, Degiovanni J - Images Paediatr Cardiol (2007) |
