Figure 2From: Investigation of gastric cancers in nude mice using X-ray in-line phase contrast imaging XILPCI projective images of nude mice gastric specimens. (a) An XILPCI projective image of a gastric normal specimen. (b) A 3-day-old specimen. It shows that the gastric walls are a little thickness and the surface of the stomach is uneven. (c) A 5-day-old specimen. It shows an obvious gastric cancer in the side of the stomach, but the cancer mass is small. (d) A 7-day-old specimen. It shows a larger region of a gastric cancer and the gastric thickening walls without smoothing. (e) A 9-day-old specimen. It shows that the gastric cancer regions continue to increase with more thickness gastric walls. (f) An 11-day-old specimen. It possesses the most thickness gastric walls. The gastric cancer has occupied more than half of the stomach. Star symbols represent suspected gastric cancer area.Back to article page
