Comparison of optical coherence tomography, microcomputed tomography, and histology at a three-dimensionally imaged trabecular bone sample

TL;DR: In this article, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used for imaging femoral trabecular bone samples and compared to microcomputed tomography and optical coherency tomography.

Micro-FEM orthogonal cutting model for bone using microscope images enhanced via artificial intelligence

TL;DR: In this paper, a micro-structural architecture for bone cutting was identified via an automatic methodology for identifying the various microstructures in an optical image taken from (2-year old) bovine femur cortical bone slice.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.

TL;DR: These power relationships, which were shown to hold for all bone in the skeleton, allow meaningful predictions of bone tissue strength and stiffness based on in vivo density measurements.

Young's modulus of trabecular and cortical bone material: ultrasonic and microtensile measurements.

TL;DR: The results suggest that when considered mechanically, cortical and trabecular bone are not the same material.

The mechanical behaviour of cancellous bone

TL;DR: The results of this previous study are applied to cancellous bone in an attempt to further understand its mechanical behaviour and the results agree reasonably well with experimental data available in the literature.

Elastic properties of human cortical and trabecular lamellar bone measured by nanoindentation

TL;DR: An experimental investigation was undertaken to measure the intrinsic elastic properties of several of the microstructural components of human vertebral trabecular bone and tibial cortical bone by the nanoindentation method, and differences in the measured moduli are statistically significant.
