Bioactive glass scaffolds with interconnected macroporous networks have been developed by foaming sol-gel derived bioactive glass of the 70S30C (70 mol% SiO2, 30 mol% CaO) composition. The effect of sintering temperature on the dissolution of the scaffolds in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated in 3D using x-ray micro-computer tomography (micro CT) and inductive coupled plasma (ICP) analysis. Micro-CT is non-destructive and allows observation of specific parts of the scaffold at various stages of degradation. However, data analysis is complex at present. Percentage porosity data obtained by micro-CT was compared to physical data and pore size distributions obtained from mercury intrusion porosimetry were compared to the interconnected pore diameters observed from the micro CT images.
