Table 1.

Tensor coordinates values of the maximum MIL orientation from the μCT system and QUS measurement and the length of the vector in the MIL orientation |H2| in mm. The values of the QUS parameters, ATTmax and UVmax are converted from the spherical coordinates system. These values are used in the calculation of the angle difference between the PSOs predicted by μCT and QUS.
