Abstract
Tissue scaffold morphological properties are determined and correlated with osteoblast proliferation and ingrowth. Scaffold pore size and connectivity were characterized with x-ray tomography. Cell proliferation and ingrowth were measured with confocal fluorescence and optical coherence microscopy
