Trabecular bone and cortical bone analysis. a Representative reconstructed micro-CT images of the femur distal metaphysis. Top, cortical and trabecular bone combined. Middle, extraction of the trabecular portion. Bottom, lateral view of the extracted trabecular portion. The OVX group showed a marked reduction in trabecular bone. b Representative reconstructed micro-CT images of the femur mid-diaphysis. Top, the OVX group showed an increased diameter of the femur mid-diaphysis and negligible amount of trabecular bone exist. Middle, reconstructed images of cortical porosity (red) within the cortical bone. Bottom, lateral view of the reconstructed cortical porosity extracted from bone
