A Comparison of Micro-CT and Dental CT in Assessing Cortical Bone Morphology and Trabecular Bone Microarchitecture
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the trabecular bone microarchitecture and cortical bone morphology by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and dental cone-beam computed tomography (dental CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen femurs and eight fifth lumbar vertebrae were collected from eight male Sprague Dawley rats. Four trabecular bone microa...
متن کاملA CT-image-based framework for the holistic analysis of cortical and trabecular bone morphology
This study introduces a standardized framework for the holistic analysis of cortical and trabecular bone structure. This method, although applicable to all bones of the skeleton, is particularly useful for irregular-shaped or small bones for which the application of traditional methods has been especially challenging. Traditional analyses have quantified cortical or trabecular structure in only...
متن کاملA comparison between micro-CT and histology for the investigation of the cortical bone microstructure
In the last years there has been a great interest in cortical bone investigation. In fact cortical bone porosity is considered one of the main parameters which determines bone strength [3, 8]. Even if histology has been the gold standard for the morphometric examination of bone specimens, in the last ten years a new method arose: X-ray microtomography (micro-CT). It permits the non-destructive ...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation of cortical and trabecular compartments based on a dual threshold technique for in vivo micro-CT bone analysis.
The use of high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) and in vivo micro-CT for studies of bone disease and treatment has become increasingly common, and with these methods comes large quantities of data requiring analysis. A simple, robust, and fully-automated segmentation algorithm is presented that efficiently segments bone regions. The dual threshold technique refe...
متن کاملCortical and Trabecular Bone
During the normal growth and development of man and animals the bones grow in length and width and undergo progressive changes in their architecture, a process known as maturation. These normal processes are governed by numerous and complex forces but one of them, the plane of nutrition during the growing period, is of major importance. Undernourished children are small in stature and have bone...
