Regional maps of rib cortical bone thickness and cross‐sectional geometry

the relationship of various arch forms and cortical bone thickness

objective: implants are being used in orthodontics as a reliable mode of anchorage. among other factors, the cortical bone thickness plays a major role in determining the stability of these implants. the objective of this study was to study the relationship of various arch forms and the cortical bone thickness and to determine if the cortical bone thickness varies between various arch forms. th...

The Geometry of Visual Cortical Maps

The primary visual cortex has a map of multiple visual parameters whose topographic relations remain poorly understood. A new study (Nauhaus et al., 2016) reveals a nearly geometric map-topography that coexists within a remarkably precise representation of visual space.

Microstructural Analysis of Osteon Orientation in Human Rib Cortical Bone

The orientation of osteons in cortical bone has been shown to correlate with the loading condition. The purpose of this study is to determine the orientation of osteons in the rib cage to better understand the behavior of the rib cage under mechanical load. A total of 37 rib specimens were removed from 21 rib locations from a male and female cadaver. Eight histological slides were created from ...

Investigation of fracture mechanisms in rib cortical bone

Predicting rib fractures remains an important challenge for the automotive safety community. While current rib computational models can successfully be used to determine the load and deflection required to cause rib fracture, they fail to properly predict the fracture location. It is assumed that a better understanding of bone fracture mechanism will help to improve the biofidelity of rib compu...
