Bone Analysis

Designed for the evaluation of high-resolution micro-CT samples of bone specimens, Dragonfly’s Bone Analysis Wizard provides 3D vector-based mappings of anisotropy magnitude and directionality and 3D scalar-based mappings of bone volume fraction. In addition, automated separation of cortical and trabecular bone drives the calculation of common morphometric indices that provide researchers with quantitative descriptions of bone micro-architecture.
