Synchrotron-Based in Situ Characterization of the Scaffold Mass Loss from Erosion Degradation

The mass loss behavior of degradable tissue scaffolds is critical to their lifespan and other degradation-related properties including mechanical strength and mass transport characteristics. This paper presents a novel method based on synchrotron imaging to characterize the scaffold mass loss from e...
