How Analyze was Used
“The microstructural parameters of the femur were assessed using the visualization and analysis software, Analyze 14.0 (AnalyzeDirect, Inc., KS, USA). A 1-mm-thick region from 100 μm proximal to the end of the growth plate was used in the trabecular bone analysis, and the following parameters were assessed: trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular BMD, trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) and connectivity density (Conn.D). A 1-mm-thick region of the mid-diaphysis of the femur was used in the cortical bone analysis, and the following parameters were assessed: cortical BMD, cortical thickness (Ct.Th) and cortical area (Ct.Ar).”
