Congratulations to our former MSc student Luisa and my amazing colleagues Sophie and @drbutty.bsky.social on a very cool CT method paper with some interesting implications about osteoporosis in medieval Scotland #MedievalSky #edinarch
Fig 7 from the study: Two middle adult females with similar Ct.Po but different MCI and Ct.Ar/Tt.Ar values. Lines show MCI measurement points. This includes a complete spur due to a trabecularised pore in the second tomographic slice. Palmar is up. Scale bar = 5 mm. Under a CC BY 4.0 License.
Figure 1 from the study: (A) Whole bone scan. (B) Diaphyseal volume of interest (VOI) scan of (C) tomographic slices of higher resolution for cross-sectional analysis. Under CC-BY 4.0 License.
🦴 This study introduces an updated protocol to assess the second metacarpal index (MCI) from μ-CT scans. The strong correlation between MCI & cortical area fraction indicates the efficacy of this parameter to assess cortical bone loss #edinarch #osteo onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 2/3
