This review highlights recent advances in X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) as
applied to materials, specifically advances made since the first materials microCT review …

A number of papers have recently emphasised the importance of verification, validation and
sensitivity testing in computational studies within the field of biomechanical engineering …

MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic
structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

Bone strength is a fundamental contributor to fracture risk, and with the recent development
of in vivo 3D bone micro-architecture measurements by high-resolution peripheral …

The characterization of bone/scaffold composite mechanical properties is essential for
translation to the clinic, but in vivo studies require resources and personnel not available to …

Non-invasive and/or non-destructive techniques can provide structural information about
bone, beyond simple bone densitometry. While the latter provides important information …

Osteoporosis is currently defined in terms of low bone mass. However, the source of fragility
leading to fracture has not been adequately described. In particular, the contributions of …

Trabecular bone fractures heal through intramembraneous ossification. This process differs
from diaphyseal fracture healing in that the trabecular marrow provides a rich vascular …

It is known that mechanical loading leads to an increase in bone mass through a positive
shift in the balance between bone formation and bone resorption. How the remodeling sites …

Finite element modeling is an engineering tool for structural analysis that has been used for
many years to assess the relationship between load transfer and bone morphology and to …
