Purpose: Tissue replacement techniques showed a fast development during the last decade trying to replace pathological tissue in patients with engineered tissues derived from embryonic stem cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, whether techniques of highfield magnetic resonance imaging may be used to characterize embryonic tissue during proliferation and differentiation. Materials and Methods: Thirteen chicken embryos with incubation times between 4 days and 17 days have been measured in a miniature magnetic resonance imager ClinScan at 7 Tesla using the built-in resonator. T1, T2- and magnetization…
