Quantification of Bone Remodeling in SRuCTImages of Implants

• For quantification of bone remodeling around implants, wecombine information obtained by two modalities: 2D histological sectionsimaged in light microscope and 3D synchrotron radiation-based computedmicrotomography, SRμCT. In this paper, we present a methodfor segmenting SRμCT volumes. The impact of shading artifact at theimplant interface is reduced by modeling the artifact. The segmentationis followed by quantitative analysis. To facilitate comparison with existingresults, the quantification is performed on a registered 2D slicefrom the volume, which corresponds to a histological section from thesame sample. The quantification involves measurements of bone areaand bone-implant contact percentages.We compare the results obtained by the proposed method on the SRμCTdata with manual measurements on the histological sections and discussthe advantages of including SRμCT data in the analysis.
