Analysis of the microarchitecutre of the human femoral head using micro-computertomography

Ji Hyungmin , Won Ye-Yeon , Park Ye-Soo

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to scan femoral heads from cadaveric donors and investigate the microarchitecture within each femoral head comprehensively.Material and methods: Ten proximal femora was harvested from eight human cadaveric donors and these specimens were scanned using micro-computed tomography. Reconstructed batches of images were aligned along the main trabecular direction (MTD). The upper hemisphere of each femoral head was includ...
