English: Intimal-medial plaque thickness movie of Ldlr-3KO aorta 6945 (Table 1): Seg3D (Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT) was used to create a label map associated with the regions of interest that assigned a specific value (1 for aorta, 2 for plaque and 0 for background). This label map was then used to produce a 3D rendering of the surface boundaries of the regions of interest: Aortic vessel in transparent gray and plaques in color spectrum (violet – thin plaque areas, to red – thick plaque areas). SCIRun (SCI Institute, Salt Lake City, UT) was used to generate the frames for the rotating 3D movies. The frames were then converted into QuickTime (Apple, Inc) movies for viewing.
