Zusammenfassung	Micro-computed tomography (microCT) morphometry quantifies 3D bone and tissue architecture at micrometer resolution, enabling detailed assessment of bone density, trabecular structure, and porosity. Developed by Feldkamp and colleagues and standardized by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, microCT is the gold standard for preclinical bone analysis and has expanded to tissue engineering and material characterization.	Hydrogel rheology characterizes the mechanical viscoelastic properties of hydrogels used in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biomedical devices. By measuring storage modulus (elastic component), loss modulus (viscous component), and their frequency dependence, practitioners assess gel stiffness, degradation, and suitability for specific applications.	Scaffold porosity analysis characterizes the pore structure of tissue engineering scaffolds, including total porosity, pore size distribution, pore shape, and pore interconnectivity. Essential for predicting cell seeding, nutrient diffusion, and mechanical properties, this quantitative approach bridges scaffold design and biological performance.
