Contrast 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 کاملX-ray micro-computed tomography
Micro-computed tomography (μCT) has been successfully used to study the cardiovascular system of mouse embryos in situ. With the use of barium as a suitablecontrast agent, blood vessels have beenimaged and analysed quantitatively such asblood volume and vessel sizes on embryosof ages 14.5 to 16.5 days old. The advantageof using this imaging modality is that it hasprovide...
متن کاملApplication of in vivo micro-computed tomography in the temporal characterisation of subchondral bone architecture in a rat model of low-dose monosodium iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex, multifactorial joint disease affecting both the cartilage and the subchondral bone. Animal models of OA aid in the understanding of the pathogenesis of OA and testing suitable drugs for OA treatment. In this study we characterized the temporal changes in the tibial subchondral bone architecture in a rat model of low-dose monosodium iodoacetate (MIA...
متن کاملMicro Computed Tomography Analysis of Magnesium Screw Degradation & Bone Regeneration
INTRODUCTION 6.3 million cases of bone trauma happen each year in the US alone [1]. In a majority of these cases, permanent fixation implants using titanium plates and screws are used as a remedy, but they do have their drawbacks. Some of these disadvantages include bone wear and degradation, resulting in the implant to become loose. They also present a prime site for possible infection [2]. An...
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...
