Abstract: | Summary One of the great 3D micro tomography (3D-mCT) applications in the medical area is the characterization of bone architecture,
especially when it is spoken in osteoporosis because, among other factors, is characterized by the deterioration of the architecture.
This work shows the 3D quantification, based on stereological concepts, of the bone tissue through 3D-mCT in real time. The
analyses were carried out in femur rat and the 3D visualizations helped to understand bones morphology. The results showed
the potential of this computational technique to verify the capability of characterization of the internal bone structures
and the importance of the threshold level in the binarization process. |
