Abstract

This paper presents the possibility of utilizing a low field benchtop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the development of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) based tissue engineered (TE) bone constructs over a four-week period. All MRI measurements were conducted using a 0.5T MRI tomography system. Preliminary results demonstrated that the proposed approach is promising in differentiating various growth stages in engineered bone constructs non-constructively.
