Validation of Material Algorithms for Femur Remodelling Using Medical Image Data

Figure 1

(a) The local regions in the proximal femur, including the superolateral, inferomedial, diaphyseal, and femur head and neck. (b) The real and simulated bone densities (g/cm3) in the local regions of the proximal femur. The real densities are obtained from CT data. The simulated densities are calculated by the isotropic and orthotropic material algorithms, respectively.
