Conventional bone histomorphometry is an important method for quantitative evaluation of bone microstructure. X-ray computed microtomography is a non-invasive technique, which can be used to evaluate histomorphometric indices in trabecular bones (BV/TV, BS/BV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, Tb.Sp). In this technique, 3D images are used to quantify the whole sample, differently from the conventional one, in which the quantification is performed in 2D slices and extrapolated for 3D case. In this work, histomorphometric quantification using synchrotron 3D X-ray computed microtomography was performed to quantify the bone structure at different skeletal sites as well as to investigate the effects of bone diseases on quantitative understanding of bone architecture. The images were obtained at Synchrotron Radiation for MEdical Physics (SYRMEP) beamline, at ELETTRA synchrotron radiation facility, Italy. Concerning the obtained results for normal and pathological bones from same skeletal sites and individuals, from our results, a certain declining bone volume fraction was achieved. The results obtained could be used in forming the basis for comparison of the bone microarchitecture and can be a valuable tool for predicting bone fragility.
传统的骨组织形态计量学是定量评估骨微观结构的重要方法。X 射线计算机微断层扫描是一种非侵入性技术,可用于评估小梁骨的组织形态计量学指标(BV/TV、BS/BV、Tb.N、Tb.Th、Tb.Sp)。在该技术中,使用 3D 图像对整个样本进行定量,与传统方法不同,传统方法是在 2D 切片中进行定量,并外推到 3D 情况。在这项工作中,使用同步加速器 3D X 射线计算机微断层扫描进行了组织形态计量学定量,以量化不同骨骼部位的骨结构,并研究骨病对骨结构定量理解的影响。图像是在意大利 ELETTRA 同步辐射设施的 SYRMEP 光束线上获得的。关于来自相同骨骼部位和个体的正常和病态骨骼的获得结果,从我们的结果中,实现了一定的骨体积分数下降。获得的结果可用于形成比较骨微观结构的基础,并可作为预测骨脆性的有价值工具。
