The present invention provides a method for designing three-dimensional scaffold structures that are anatomically accurate and possess the necessary internal porous micro-architecture design, wherein the porous micro-architecture is necessary for the proliferation and colonization of cultured cells that lead to tissue formation. The design method of the present invention utilizes the patient data derived from medical imaging modalities (e.g., CT or MRI) in combination with computer data manipulation techniques. The present invention further provides that the resultant scaffold design can be easily manufactured by Rapid Prototyping fabrication techniques.
