Abdominal mammary glands were injected with 40 μl contrast agent as stock solution as indicated: Omnipaque (300 mg I/ml), MVivo Au (200 mg Au/ml), TaOx (36 mg Ta/ml), Fenestra VC (50 mg I/ml), MVivo BIS (150 mg Bis/ml). 3D reconstruction of manually segmented regions of interest (i.e., ipsi- and contralateral abdominal mammary glands) of the same animals is shown at different imaging time points from immediately after (D0) last ID injection to 60 days (D60). 3D reconstruction was thresholded to include only voxels with a HU value of >300. Scale bar is 1 mm.
