X-CT, micro-CT imaging, and statistical analysis. (a) Sagittal CT image. (b) Coronal CT image. The arrow in (a) is the bone defect at the reimplantation site. The arro in (b) is the reimplanted cranial flaps. (c-e) Detected samples. (f-g) 3D reconstruction of the whole bone flap. (h, i) 3D reconstruction of different points of a bone graft. (j–l) Pseudocolor map in the D region of interest ((j) reimplanted bone, (k) new bone, and (l) fusion of both). (m) One-way ANOVA analysis of the micro-CT data with the addition of the ratio of the left and right bone flaps. Here, L denotes the left, R denotes the right, OB denotes old bone, and NB denotes new bone.
