All bones were photographed before and after the experiments with a digital camera mounted on a 3D stand monitored with the Helicon Remote 3.8.6w software. Picture compilation was achieved with the Helicon focus 7 software and Adobe Photoshop CS4. Microscopic analysis was performed on a Nikon SMZ18 microscope (software NIS-Element BR) and a Leica M80 stereomicroscope (software LAS Core). After experiments, bone artifacts were scanned using Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CS 93000 CBCT, Carestream®, Noisy-le-Grand, France), with a 15 × 10 cm field of view and a spatial resolution of 90 microns. Multi-planar reconstruction (3D-MPR) was performed using CS-3D Imaging software. The 3D analysis and post-treatment were performed using Avizo 9 (Thermo Fisher®, Bordeaux, France). Manual segmentation tools were used to calculate 3D volumes and surfaces.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
