German term

Gefäßausgusspräparat

German to English Medical Medical: Cardiology research
"[Das Institut] erforscht die mikrostrukturelle und molekulare Zusammensetzung kleinster Blutgefäße, um deren Bildung in kranken und gesunden Geweben besser zu verstehen. Im Bild präsentiert eine Mitarbeiterin ein Gefäßausgusspräparat, welches im Mikro-Computertomographen untersucht wurde."

This is the caption to a photo, which I unfortunately don't have. It is all the information I have. The next photo caption is completely unrelated. Can anyone help with a translation?

TIA.

Vascular Corrosion Cast (VCC) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of Vascular Corrosion Casts (VCCs) enables to study and to characterize the microvasculature of tissues and organs (http://www.formatex.info/microscopy4/29-39.pdf). N.B. Thank you Harald Moelzer for your advice - but I only offer suggestions as I do not translate from GE-EN.
@Waverley you may wish to enter this as an answer.
The term will then become searchable in the Kudoz Open Glossary, and you can earn some points for providing support and information.

I agree with Waverly. Vascular corrosion casting is also what I found.

vascular corrosion cast preparation

Vascular corrosion casting is an established method of anatomical preparation that has recently been revived and has proven to be an excellent tool for detailed three-dimensional (3D) morphological examination of normal and pathological microcirculation. In addition, the geometry provided by vascular casts can be further used to calculate wall shear stress (WSS) in a vascular bed using computational techniques.
