A variety of studies have been published exploring the use of image analysis and machine vision for tissue analysis and biomarker measurement [5], [10].
Methods for tissue mounting in the testing machine have been described (Virchenko et al. 2004, Wermelin et al. 2008).
An automated tissue immunohistology processing machine (Discovery XT; Ventana Medical Systems Inc., Tuscon, AZ, USA [VMSI]) was used for tissue staining.
A machine learning approach has been developed for accurately identifying the candidate genes for tissue specific/selective expression.
However, any statistical or machine learning classifier could be used in combination with a set of hand-crafted features for tissue classification.
For tissue strain measurement, optical markers (impregnated carbon grease) were placed onto the ligament tissue near the insertion sites and the tissue bath containing the MCL samples were inserted into our custom testing machine.
At our institution and in previous experience [ 25] patients usually use the ex vivo CPM machine for 6 to 8 hours daily after implantation of tissue engineered constructs.
