In an aspect the invention is a method of preparing a cell or tissue
implant for insertion into a patient in need of treatment by obtaining a
transplantable cell population, culturing the cell population in a
culture media and exposing the cell population to a sonic or ultrasonic
stimulation, wherein the stimulation provides a capability for an
enhanced implant outcome parameter. The method provides enhanced
autologous bone implant procedures by reducing the time required for a
patient's own cells to sufficiently undergo osteogenesis, thereby
reducing the waiting time for an autologous bone implant. The extent of
osteogenesis is optionally monitored non-invasively by magnetic resonance
spectroscopy.
