The XILPCI transverse CT images of the rats’ gastric specimens in Fig. 1. a The transverse images along the black line a, g and j are shown in Fig. 1. There are transverse CT images of a 4-week-old rat stomach. It can clearly show that there are grey changes in different gastric structures. The thickness of the gastric fundus and corpus are the same as the XILPCI image shows equal width of gastric wall, and it is obvious that there are multiple bulges in the fundus of the 4-week-old rat stomach. b The transverse images along the black line b, h and k as shown in Fig. 1. The XILPCI images show the wider gastric corpus than the fundus but thicker walls of gastric corpus than that of the fundus. This obviously shows that there are grey changes in the different gastric structures and the duodenum. The bulges have decreased in the fundus of the 6-week-old rat stomach. c The transverse images along the black line c, i and m as shown in Fig. 1. It can obviously be seen that there are many gastric corpus wrinkles in the 12-week-old gastric specimen. ★★★ represents the wrinkles of the gastric fundus. 1 Cardia, 2 Gastric Corpus, 3 Gastric Fundus, 4 Pylorus
