Dynamic Gd-DTPA Enhanced MRI as a Surrogate Marker of Angiogenesis in Tissue-engineered Rabbit Calvarial Constructs: A Pilot Study
Tissue engineering is limited by inability to create early and adequate blood supply. In-vivo DCE-MRI has imaged angiogenesis in soft tissues, yet has not been considered in hard tissues. Bilateral critical defects created in parietal bones of eighteen adult rabbits were left void, treated with ha...
