Original Abstract

Biodegradable metallic materials for medical applications have received considerable attention in recent years. The reason is that they provide high potential for fabrication of temporal orthopaedic implants such as bone fixation devices and scaffolds. Magnesium (Mg) is an excellent candidate for biodegradable implants due to its biocompatibility and relevance for biological body functions. Unfortunately, the high Mg degradation rate limits its application in medicine. Apart from necessity of decrease in corrosion rate of Mg, there is need of a robust, reproducible, accurate technique for quantification of in vitro and in vivo Mg biodegradation and also for evaluation of the effect of various surface treatments, performed to decrease its degradation rate. This research is focused on demonstration of X-ray computed microtomography (μCT) as a non-destructive, quantitative and multianalytical characterization technique to assess the corrosion progress of high-purity-Mg (HP-Mg). The efficacy of the μCT was compared with that of conventional analytical methods which are commonly used for evaluation of Mg degradation.
