Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Medical Imaging
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising for biodegradable implants but lack sufficient in vivo assessment methods.
  • Monitoring Mg alloy degradation and tissue regeneration in vivo is complex.
  • Functional assessment of tissue physiological changes is vital for early healing detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate continuous wave near-infrared spectroscopy (CW NIRS) for non-invasive assessment of the implant-tissue interface.
  • To investigate hemoglobin and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) changes after Mg-alloy (WE43) and titanium (Ti) implantation in rat femurs.
  • To assess the influence of skin changes on NIRS parameters and combine NIRS with photoacoustic (PA) imaging for enhanced tissue assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multiwavelength optical probe for CW NIRS measurements in a rodent femur implantation model.
  • Implanted WE43 Mg-alloy and Ti implants in rat femurs.
  • Correlated NIRS data with photoacoustic (PA) imaging and principal component analysis.

Main Results:

  • CW NIRS successfully monitored hemoglobin and StO2 changes around Mg-alloy and Ti implants.
  • Skin variations were evaluated for their impact on NIRS readings.
  • Combined NIRS and PA imaging provided a more robust assessment of tissue parameters.

Conclusions:

  • CW NIRS is a promising non-invasive tool for monitoring biodegradable implant degradation and tissue healing.
  • Functional assessment using NIRS can serve as an early indicator of implant-tissue integration and healing.
  • Integrating NIRS with PA imaging enhances the reliability of in vivo tissue parameter assessment.
