Three-dimensional rendering of voxel-based dataset from a micro-CT scanned sagittal slice of human L1 vertebral body cancellous bone (BV/TV = 9.5%; Tb.Th* = 180 $\mu$m; Tb.Sp* = 1037 $\mu$m; DA = 11.31; TBPf = 6.4 m${\text{m}}^{-1}$; Conn.D = 1.14 m${\text{m}}^{-1}$, and SMI = 1.58). Scanning resolution = 15.63 $\mu$m/pixel.
