Table 2 Measurement of cell enrichment and homogeneity of the cell distribution within different bioreactor types by dynamic micro-PET/CT after 60 min perfusion.

From: An optimized 3D-printed perfusion bioreactor for homogeneous cell seeding in bone substitute scaffolds for future chairside applications

  1. Cell enrichment was calculated by detecting [18F]FDG-labeled cells. Homogeneity of cell distribution was presented by calculating the Hoover coefficient, whereby a lower Hoover coefficient indicates higher homogeneity of cell distribution in the scaffold (mean ± SD, student’s t test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 considered significantly different compared to the respective bioreactor type).
