Experimental setup, image reformation, and measurements. 1a The location of an embedded spine in the PVC tube using a transparent 3D reconstruction. Sagittal reconstructions were obtained from the axial CT scans to detect fractures (1b). An ROI was positioned mid-vertebrally in each vertebral body, and the density was determined in HU (1c). A 3D reconstruction allowed final assessment of deformities and fractures (1d)
