It requires specific conditions favorable for tissue regeneration, and the outcome of the engineered tissue must be objectively assessed. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most promising tools to do this. This review discusses the most recent publications concerning the several MRI-based techniques available for the assessment of engineered tissu
