Avoiding artefacts in MicroCT imaging of collagen scaffolds: Effect of phosphotungstic acid (PTA)-staining and crosslink density

X-ray micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) can be used to provide both qualitative and quantitative information on the structure of three-dimensional (3D) bioactive scaffolds. When performed in a dry state, μ-CT accurately reflects the structure of collagen-based scaffolds, but imaging in a wet state of...
