Fig. 4

3D averaged density model of the scaphoid to characterize its inner configuration. The left figure displays the mean model of the scaphoid with osseous and cartilage surfaces. Middle and right figures exhibit orthogonal sections with the three concentrically arranged zones displaying high, intermediate and low vBMD values: 1. peripheral zone (blue) with high vBMD values; 2. intermediate zone with intermediate vBMD values and four subregions: subregion located medially (dark blue), near to the proximal pole (red); near to the distal pole (yellow) and laterally (light blue): 3. centre zone with lowest vBMD values (green)
