Flow-driven perfusion studies of cryogels using MRI. (A) Sagittal proton MRI image composite of the 4-well chip containing a 1% CMC cryogel in each well. (B) Horizontal pixel sum of each well ROI from panel (A). (C) Average pixel intensity of the four wells scaffold region at the bottom of the image (B ROI) over the rest of the well at the top (T ROI) for three replicates of an experiment with a single 1% CMC cryogel per well. (D) Pixel average of the four wells B ROI over T ROI for experiments with a single 1% CMC cryogel per well injecting the D\(_2\)O at different flow rates (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 mL/min).
