How Analyze was Used
“μCT image sets were semi-automatically segmented and boundary descriptions (as described by 3D points and 3D triangular patches) were generated through the use of a marching cubes algorithm in a commercially available image analysis software (Analyze, AnalyzeDirect) for both the entire bone/callus and solely the cortical bone.”
