SKUF Protocol: Slice, Keep, Unwrap, Fuse—A Pilot Multimodal Approach to Cardiac Innervation Mapping
The SKUF protocol provides a robust framework for integrating histological and MRI data to generate three-dimensional maps of myocardial innervation. This approach may facilitate the development of high-resolution anatomical atlases of cardiac innervation and support future studies of neurocardiac mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis and targeted neuromodulation.
