From: Osteoinductive 3D printed scaffold healed 5 cm segmental bone defects in the ovine metatarsus
Micro-CT reconstructions images showing axial and longitudinal cut planes and obliques views of the bone volume segmentation for an example scaffold specimen (A–C) and control specimen (D–F). Micro-CT evaluations of bone and scaffold volume content were performed (A) within the 5 cm long scaffold ROI and around the periphery ROI of the scaffold specimens. The reported bone volume includes both the scaffold and periphery ROIs. For the control specimens, (D) the bone volume was analyzed in only a single region containing the entire defect region outside the intramedullary space. Scale bars indicate 5 mm. Images were generated by Scanco micro-CT 80 software (Scanco USA Inc., http://www.scanco.ch/).
