Synchrotron X-ray microCT transverse images (A) and 3D reconstructions (B, C and D) of WT (left) and Crh− 120/+ (right) tibiae mid diaphysis of three specimens. (A) Transverse SR CT sections (B) top view of 3D reconstructions of cavities (red), inner cortico-endosteal tissue (purple), canal and lacunae network (yellow) (C) Isometric projections of 3D reconstructions (transparency of canal and lacunae is set to 0.75) shows cavities and inner cortico-endosteal tissue in Crh− 120/+ specimens and higher number of canals and lacunae can be observed in WT tibiae than Crh− 120/+ bone (D) 3D reconstruction of cortico-endosteal pores and inner cortico-endosteal tissue can be only seen in Crh− 120/+. Volume fractions for cavities and inner cortico-endosteal tissue are given for Crh− 120/+ (transparency for canal and lacunae are set to 1).
