Figure 6. Assessment of trabecular morphologic parameters is threshold dependent; and, trabecular parameters are altered by prostate cancer involving bone.

Figure 6

Variations in correlation coefficient (r) for metaphyseal bone mineral density (BMD, A), trabecular number (TbN, B) bone volume density (BV/TV, C), and trabecular separation (TbSp, D) by μCT at different thresholds and bone histomorphometry. Insets: using optimal thresholds, in vivo μCT at 91-µm voxel size shows significant differences in metaphyseal BMD (BMD, A), TbN (TbN, B), BV/TV (BV/TV, C) and TbSp (TbSp, D) between left and right femora 10 weeks after tumor inoculation.
