Muscle spindles are skeletal muscle sensory organs involved in the sensation of position and movement of the body. We have explored the capability of phase contrast computed tomography to visualise muscle spindles in murine skeletal muscle. In particular, we have validated the visualisation of nerve fibres through phase contrast computed tomography using light microscopy on stained histological sections. We further present the first three-dimensional visualisation of muscle spindles in mouse soleus skeletal muscle in conjunction with the neurovascular bundle associated with it.
肌梭是参与身体位置和运动感觉的骨骼肌感觉器官。我们探索了相衬计算机断层扫描技术可视化小鼠骨骼肌中肌梭的能力。特别是，我们通过相衬计算机断层扫描技术，并结合对染色组织切片的光学显微镜观察，验证了神经纤维的可视化。我们还首次展示了小鼠比目鱼肌骨骼肌中肌梭及其相关神经血管束的三维可视化。
