Fig. 1From: The quantification of 3D-trabecular architecture of the fourth cervical vertebra using CT osteoabsorptiometry and micro-CTa The 4th cervical vertebra was quartered by sagittal and frontal cuts in the median of the vertebral body. The individual quarters were then scanned under 360° rotation and acquisition. b Scans were reconstructed in 3D c volumes of interest were isolated relative to the absolute height of the trabecular bone by a percentage calculation of 10%, 15% and 25% of the absolute height both caudally and craniallyBack to article page
