Crimp analysis of connective tissue using quantitative second-harmonic generation microscopy
… Abstract: We assess the capacity for second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy by
quantitatively characterizing collagen fiber crimp pattern in the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
and disclosing the 3D structure in PCL and porcine tendon. OCIS codes: (170.3880)
Medical and biological imaging; (180.4315) Nonlinear … We demonstrated analysis of 3
types of crimps in connective tissue using quantitative SHG microscopy. Using this
approach we suggested a helical fiber model in ligament, which could potentially connect …
