Ultrasound imaging of aortas of rats implanted with different Zn wires. (a) Schematic illustrations of the aortic implantation model and ultrasound imaging. (b) B mode, Color mode, and PW mode images of the rat aortas implanted with different Zn wires. The arrow heads indicate the implanted Zn wires. The dashed circles indicate the blood flow in the aortas implanted with the Zn wires. The dashed squares indicate the peaks in the PW mode images. VTI (c), mean velocity (d), and mean gradient (e) of the blood flow in the aortas implanted with the different Zn wires. (f) Diameter of the aortas implanted with the different Zn wires. * indicates p < 0.05, compared between two groups. ** indicates p < 0.01, compared between two groups
