- Additional information
- This paper, describing a step change in microCT imaging of mechanically loaded soft tissue, as evidenced by its evolution into a novel imaging validation technique. The work has been used by the authors to develop a barbed suture alternative for submission as a provisional patent, with the imaging technique underpinning the patent evidence. The authors were awarded £100k from Versus Arthritis UK and £75k from MRC CiC to develop this new technology.
