Title: Synchrotron X-ray Imaging via Ultra-small-angle Scattering: Principles of Quantitative Analysis and Application in Studyingbone Integration to Synthetic Grafting Materials

Journal Article · · European Biophysics Journal

Optimized experimental conditions for extracting accurate information at subpixel length scales from analyzer-based X-ray imaging were obtained and applied to investigate bone regeneration by means of synthetic {beta}-TCP grafting materials in a rat calvaria model. The results showed a 30% growth in the particulate size due to bone ongrowth/ingrowth within the critical size defect over a 1-month healing period.
