To evaluate skeletal microarchitecture, the right femora (n = 6) were subjected to a high-resolution Micro-CT analysis using a Micro-CT imaging system (Siemens, Inveon), according to the method described in a publication [41 (link)].
The quantitative parameters of the bone microstructure were measured, including BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.Th, Tb.N, Tb.Sp and BMD. All the digitalized data and 3-dimensional images were supplied by the built-in software of Micro-CT (Siemens, Inveon).
