Characterization of Microarchitectures, Stiffness and Strength of Human Trabecular Bone Using Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) Scans

The present work presents evaluation and experimental verification of the use X-ray computed tomographic microscopy (micro-CT) for accurate characterization geometry, microarchitecture, stiffness properties bones. These are crucial designing building optimized implants joint dental reconstruction applications. High-resolution micro-CT scans would provide more detailed information about microarchitecture density distribution across patient Nevertheless, applications on live patients require invasive procedures involving small bone biopsy specimens. Alternatively, could be used samples collected from selected cadavers different age, gender, race groups to establish a database that providing useful information. investigated reveal trabecular is anisotropic heterogeneous. results also showed considerable degree parametric variability uncertainty patient’s bone.
