Age-Related Changes in Trabecular and Cortical Bone Microstructure
Figure 2
3D reconstructed images of cortical porosity at the inferior femoral neck from a man aged 62 years (a), a man aged 92 years (b), a woman aged 62 years (c), and a woman aged 92 years (d). There are more enlarged pores in the 92-year-old group than those of the 62-year-old group. Representative 2D micro-CT image of the femoral neck cortex from a woman aged 92 years (e) is shown. The periosteal surface faces right for all specimens [29].
