In Vivo Assessment of Elasticity of Child Rib Cortical Bone Using Quantitative Computed Tomography

Table 2

Characteristics of the adult cadaveric specimens. Bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography (BMD_clin); bone mineral density measured by high-resolution peripheral computed tomography (BMD_HR); the Young’s modulus (E_inv) comes from [13] using three-point bending tests and an inverse approach.
