Correlations between porosity index and (a) micro-CT
(μCT)–derived porosity, (b) age,
and (c) peripheral quantitative CT (pQCT)
scanner–derived bone mineral density obtained on the basis of cortical
and total bone regions of midtibia specimens. Black dots represent data from
the cortical region, white dots represent data from the total region, the solid
line represents linear fitting of data from the cortical bone region, and the
dashed line represents linear fitting of data from the total bone region.
