Capillary networks in muscle tissue are examined using
Kroghs capillary model and it is shown that
diffusion-dependent CPMG relaxation rates depend on
microstructural parameters such as capillary radius,
nuclear spin diffusion and regional blood volume
fraction. The findings agree well with experimental data
and can be used to quantify microstructural parameters
that correlate with denervation- or age-related
microcirculatory remodeling in skeletal muscle.
