Device Design and Diagnostic Imaging of Radiopaque 3D Printed Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

This paper develops a radiopaque 3D printed scaffold using Bi2O3-doped PCL for in vivo monitoring with X-ray technologies, showing good radiographic visibility and mechanical properties.

Computed Tomography of Polymeric Biomedical Implants from Bench to Bedside

This study tests the feasibility of using computed tomography (CT) to characterize porosity in biomedical implants under physiological conditions in pre-clinical systems.

Biomaterial Degradation Products affect Regenerating Glia Independently of Surface Properties

This study shows that degradation products of biomaterials affect Schwann cell differentiation and myelination independently of surface properties.

In vivo Biomedical Imaging of Immune Tolerant, Radiopaque Nanoparticle-Embedded Polymeric Device Degradation

This study demonstrates that radiopaque TaOx nanoparticles can be safely incorporated into polymer devices for in vivo CT monitoring without affecting degradation or immune response.

Incorporating Radiopacity into Implantable Polymeric Biomedical Devices for Clinical Radiological Monitoring

This study evaluates radiopaque polymeric biomedical devices containing TaOx nanoparticles, showing they maintain structural integrity and radiopacity over 20 weeks in vitro and in vivo.
