TABLE II.

Derived parameters of defatted calcaneus bone samples. Apparent density was determined by dividing the mass of the dehydrated samples (mass column of Table TABLE I.) by the product of the mean linear dimensions (direct thickness measurement columns in Table TABLE I.). The micro-computed tomography system provides a bone volume per total volume $\left(\text{BV}/\text{TV}\right)$ measurement. Porosity is $\left(1-\text{BV}/\text{TV}\right)$.
