A Digital Model to Simulate Effects of Bone Architecture Variations on Texture at Spatial Resolutions of CT, HR-pQCT, and μCT Scanners
Figure 3
Structure modifications at a voxel size of 10 m and a noise level of 30 HU. On the -axis, the following measures are plotted. PLM (plate-like model): ratio of rods being deleted in %/100; BFM (bone formation model): BV/TV; RLM (rod-like model): number of plates remaining; SMM (surface modification model): width of surface irregularity in voxels. Results for the basic model are highlighted by circles. % changes between values at the basic model and maximal structure change are given as .
