What Are the Limitations of Vascular Imaging Techniques?
Each vascular imaging technique has its limitations:
- Light Microscopy: Limited resolution and inability to provide 3D images. - IHC: Requires specific antibodies and can be time-consuming. - Fluorescence Microscopy: Fluorescent signals can fade over time, and there is potential for phototoxicity. - Electron Microscopy: High cost and complexity, with a limited field of view. - Micro-CT and MRI: Expensive and require specialized equipment.
