• Imaging fiber orientation in articular cartilage using optical polarization tractography 

    Yao, Xuan (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
    Articular cartilage plays a vital role in providing a low-friction surface between the bones of joints. This mechanical function is highly related to the special collagen organization in cartilage, especially in the ...
  • Propagation of polarized light in skeletal muscle 

    Li, Xin (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Skeletal muscle is a very important tissue in animals and humans. Optical polarization imaging is a non-invasive method to study biological tissues and provides unique polarization contrast. An imaging system was developed ...
