Representative 3D micro-CT image showing the process of peri-implant supporting bone volume calculation. From left to right: The implant boundary was digitally segmented from the raw scan data. A cylindrical region of interest (ROI) with a diameter of 4.25 mm and a height of 8.5 mm, aligned with the implant axis, was defined starting from the implant platform. The volume of the implant was subtracted from this ROI to isolate the supporting bone volume. The ROI included a 375 μm margin beyond the implant surface to encompass the surrounding trabecular bone.
