FIGURE 5.

Application of Different Imaging Methods in Tissue Engineering. (A) Noninvasive MRI images of labeled and unlabeled stent-grafts in mice, a, b) RARE T2-weighted images of labeled (a) and unlabeled. (b) seed scaffolds after implantation. Boxes represents the location of the graft and K represents kidneys. c, d) Corresponding T2 maps of a, b) (adapted and modified from Harrington et al., 2011). (B) micro-CT scanning of collagen-based scaffold (adapted and modified from Bartoš et al., 2018). (C) OCT imaging contrasting the effects of pulsatile stimulation on tissue-engineered vascular grafts culture, (a–f) are images with arterial stimulation, (g–l) are images without arterial stimulation (adapted and modified from Chen et al., 2017).
