Table 1.

The reference values for Tb.Th and the non-metric indices (SMI, Conn.D and DA) (mean ± SD) for each specimen used in the simulation study, calculated from the μCT images at the original (reference) resolution

Index Bovine prox. femur Bovine prox. tibia Human radius Murine tibia
N 7 8 15 14
Original nominal resolution [μm] 16 16 34 9
Relative resolution [Pixels/Tb.Th] 11.1 12.2 4.3 6.1
Ref. Tb.Th [μm] 177.5 ± 7.2 195.9 ± 14.8 147.3 ± 18.2 54.9 ± 6.6
SMI 0.20 ± 0.36 0.76 ± 0.62 2.26 ± 0.40 1.32 ± 0.5
Conn.D [mm-3] 4.92 ± 1.59 3.48 ± 0.80 1.90 ± 0.97 246 ± 35
DA 2.12 ± 0.31 1.80 ± 0.43 1.73 ± 0.14 1.91 ± 0.1

The reference Tb.Th at the original nominal resolution was used to calculate the relative resolution.
