Figure 4
Comparison of output slices of the same image dataset reconstructed using (a) phase-retrieved CT reconstruction; (b) non-phase-retrieved CT reconstruction; (c) magnified region of interest cropped from (a); and (d) magnified region of interest cropped from (b). The PCL strands of the hybrid constructs were visible in both cases. However, alginate hydrogel strands in between the PCL strands were more visible in the non-phase-retrieved image slice than the phase-retrieved image slice. Edge effects show the boundaries of PCL and alginate hydrogel strands in the same location of the hybrid construct (arrow heads). |
