Modelling collagen fibre orientation in porcine skin based upon confocal laser scanning microscopy


Background: The mechanical properties of skin, and its ability to resist a wide range of deformations, are mainly determined by the collagen network within the dermis.


Aims: In order to quantify the structure–function relationship of skin, quantitative data on collagen orientation are acquired in this study.


Materials & Methods: Saggital cryosections from the abdominal region of young pigs were stained with picrosirus red for collagen detection and images were acquired by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Spatial distributions of collagen orientation were determined using a structure–tensor approach. Orientation data ...
