Figure 5: The evolution of cortical bone thickness, Ψ(ξ), along the three central metatarsals of the right hind paw for animal M29147.
From: Quantification of arthritic bone degradation by analysis of 3D micro-computed tomography data
The animal was immunised at day 0 and scanned at days −4, 10, 18 and 35. The measured thickness of the cortical bones is shown with points in different colours, representing the different metatarsals, whereas the fitted function, 
, is shown as a solid line of the same colour as the metatarsal data they are fitted to.
