Figure 7.

Reconstructed crystallographic phases for hkl=002, 004 and 222 from the integrated areas of the associated Bragg peaks. Phases obtained by integrating the corresponding Bragg peaks within the reconstructions for the (a) vertical and (b) horizontal diffraction directions. The external cortex is present on opposite sides of the specimen and is where muscles attach. The interior of the specimen contains trabeculae which brace the cortex. The cortical and trabecular bone experience very different loading states in vivo and are expected to possess very different carbonated hydroxyapatite (cAp) preferred orientations.
