Guidelines for assessment of bone microstructure in rodents using micro-computed tomography.
Use of high-resolution micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging to assess trabecular and cortical bone morphology has grown immensely. There are several commercially available microCT systems, each with different approaches to image acquisition, evaluation, and reporting of outcomes. This lack of consistency makes it difficult to interpret reported results and to compare findings across diff...
متن کاملQuantification of eggshell microstructure using X-ray micro computed tomography
1. X-ray microcomputed tomography can be used to produce rapid, fully analysable, three-dimensional images of biological and other materials without the need for complex or tedious sample preparation and sectioning. We describe the use of this technique to visualise and analyse the microstructure of fragments of shell taken from three regions of chicken eggs (sharp pole, blunt pole and equatori...
متن کاملContrast Agents for Micro-Computed Tomography of Microdamage in Bone
Accumulation of microdamage during fatigue can lead to increased fracture susceptibilityin bone. Current techniques for imaging microdamage in bone are inherently destructiveand two-dimensional. Therefore, the objective of this study was to image the accumulationof fatigue microdamage in cortical bone using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT)with a barium sulfate (BaSO4) contra...
متن کاملThree-dimensional microstructure of human alveolar trabecular bone: a micro-computed tomography study
PURPOSE The microstructural characteristics of trabecular bone were identified using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), in order to develop a potential strategy for implant surface improvement to facilitate osseointegration. METHODS Alveolar bone specimens from the cadavers of 30 humans were scanned by high-resolution micro-CT and reconstructed. Volumes of interest chosen within the jaw we...
متن کاملMicro-Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Bone Architecture
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is an emerging technique for the nondestructive assessment and analysis of the three-dimensional trabecular bone structure. Trabecular bone consists of a complicated three-dimensional network of plates and rods, arranged in a lattice-like network [1]. Aging, disease process, and therapeutic agents could influence the number of elements in this network, their...
