In-Vivo Assessment of Femoral Bone Strength Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Based on Routine MDCT Imaging: A Preliminary Study on Patients with Vertebral Fractures
Fig 1
In vivo CT Image of a proximal femur with image noise and artifacts caused by surrounding soft tissue compared to an in vitro CT Image with better depiction of the trabecular and cortical structures.
The spatial resolution, determined at ρ50 of the modulation-transfer-function, is 230μmx230μm in vitro and 250μmx250μm in vivo.
