Many studies have investigated the molecular basis of these diseases using mouse models. In mice, ex vivo, in situ, and ultrasound imaging are major approaches to evaluate aortic diameters, a common parameter to determine the severity of aortic aneurysms. However, accurate evaluations of aortic dimensions by these imaging approaches could be challenging due to pathological features of aortic aneurysms. Currently, there is no standardized mode to assess aortic dissections in mice. It is important to understand the characteristics of each approach for reliable evaluation of aortic dilatations. In this review, we summarize imaging techniques used for aortic visualization in recent mouse studies and discuss their pros and cons. We also provide suggestions to facilitate the visualization of mouse aortas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom12020339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T20:24:21Z","timestamp":1645475061000},"page":"339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Imaging Techniques for Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections in Mice: Comparisons of Ex Vivo, In Situ, and Ultrasound Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1374-2946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sohei","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saha Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Saha Aortic Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0577-2558","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong S.","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saha Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Saha Aortic Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2093-3775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alan","family":"Daugherty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saha Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Saha Aortic Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0017-6236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hisashi","family":"Sawada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saha Cardiovascular Research Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Saha Aortic Center, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physiology, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e37","article-title":"Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections Series","volume":"40","author":"Shen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Arterioscler.
