Standard Guide for Interpreting Images of Polymeric Tissue Scaffolds

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This document provides guidance for users who wish to obtain quantifiable data from images of tissue scaffolds manufactured from polymers that include both high water content gels and woven textiles.

4.2 Information derived from tissue scaffold images can be used to optimize the structural characteristics of the matrix for a particular application, to develop better manufacturing procedures or to provide a measure of quality assurance and product traceability. Fig. 1 provides a summary of the key stages of image capture and analysis.

4.3 There is a synergy between the analysis of pores in tissue scaffolds and that of particles that is reflected in standards cited and in the analysis described in Section 9. Guide E1919 provides a compendium of standards for particle analysis that includes measurement techniques, data analytical and sampling methodologies.
