Validation of Material Algorithms for Femur Remodelling Using Medical Image Data

Figure 4

The bone density distribution in coronal and transverse section of the proximal femur. The densities obtained from the CT data, simulation by the isotropic algorithm, and simulation by the orthotropic algorithm were shown from left to right. The upper row is the density distribution in coronal section. The lower row is the density distribution in transverse section. L: lateral; M: medial; A: anterior; P: posterior. The value of used in both algorithms was 0.012.
