Abstract

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce an in vivo hybrid multimodality technique involving the co-registration of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) to concomitantly visualize and quantify mineralization and vascularization at follow-up in a rat model.
