Results from pilot work investigating the influence of image resolution. Each scan was artificially degraded four times from the original resolution (first line in bold for each specimen). Once the images were degraded, bone volume fractions (BV/TV), anisotropy (DA), and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) were calculated for each image resolution
