Vascular Guidance: Microstructural Scaffold Patterning for Inductive Neovascularization

Figure 7

Customized scaffold design with a patient-specific vascular network using computer-aided design (CAD) techniques based on three-dimensional CT data allows modeling and fabrication of a tailored construct. CAD model shown here is tailored to the dimensions and shape of the calvarial defect and also is able to simulate the vessel network in the defect.
