Comparison of structural similarity between stereomicroscope images of the 3D-printed alginate strands (a), dual component alginate–fibrin structure (b), and the coronal slice of the phase-retrieved images from PCI-CT at a phase propagation distances of 22 cm (c), 76 (cm) and 147 cm (e) at α/β = 3500; a quantitative comparison of the alginate strand thickness (black arrows on the graphs) evaluated from the PCI-CT at a phase propagation distance of 147 cm (f) and the corresponding measured value from the stereomicroscope image (g). |
