The use of optical coherence tomography for morphological study of scaffolds
Aimed at possible widening of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) field of application, anattempt is made to use OCT in tissue engineering and cell transplantology as a tool formorphological studies of substrate materials by the example of scaffolds. By means of thetraditional fibreoptical OCT scheme the images of inner structure of scaffolds are obtained, andsimultaneously the spatial distribution of the intralipid flow velocity is reconstructed using theDoppler OCT. It is shown that combined use of traditional OCT and Doppler OCT schemes allowsrevealing the regions of the scaffold demonstrating optimal effect of shear stress, which is a key factor of cell ...
