FIG. 10.

μ-CT images and quantitative analyses of calvarial bony defects taken 6 weeks after implantation. (a) Empty group; (b) NF-Gelatin group; (c) NF-Gelatin-NCP group. The dotted lines in (a–c) represent the surgical margin of the calvarial defect. (d) Bone volumes (BVs) of the NF-Gelatin and NF-Gelatin-NCP constructs after subtracting the value of the negative control (empty group); (e) BV to total volume ratio (BV/TV) values of the NF-Gelatin and NF-Gelatin-NCP constructs. The data were expressed as mean±standard deviation (n=4). *Statistically significant (Student's t-test, p<0.05). Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
