3D X-ray representations window into heart health

The researchers say these are the first 3D representations of the cardiac conduction system within a single intact mammalian heart.
The high-res images could help researchers better understand the conducting tissue that triggers each heartbeat.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool say they have developed a new imaging technique that will help them identify, and thus analyze, tissue fibers in the heart that control whether the muscle beats regularly.
Using a micro CT scanner, the team imaged hearts whose tissue had been highlighted using iodine. The scientists discovered that certain tissue...............
