The measurement results of costal cancellous bone. (A,B,C) The calcium concentration of costal cancellous bone in different groups. (D,E,F) The CT values of costal cancellous bone in different age groups. the CT value and calcium concentration of costal cancellous bone decreased gradually since the 50 years old in female patients, whereas this two values were similar in male patients in all groups. (G,H,I) The water concentration of costal cancellous bone in different groups. *P < 0.05.
