Micro-CT Analysis of Femoral Bone Tunnels

After sacrifice, the graft-femoral samples (n=6) were scanned with micro-CT (Brilliance CT, Model No. 728302; Philips Medical Systems, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio) before the biomechanical studies. All bone tunnel model images were acquired via a Philips Brilliance workstation (Software Version: 3.2.4.1900; Philips Medical Systems, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio). The bone tunnel diameter at the aperture was analyzed with DICOM software according to a previous method (Figure 2) (31 (link)). In each image, the tunnel diameter was measured from two directions and averaged. The femoral tunnel diameter of each case was calculated as the average of the values of five consecutive images.

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.
