EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF LIVING AND DEAD BONE IN RATS

2. Radiographic Density



Download PDF

Abstract

1. The radiographs of paired living and dead rat tibiae, obtained in an experiment previously reported, have been examined by densitometry.

2. The dead bone became progressively less dense than the living bone as the duration of the implantation increased.

3. The change in density was related to the quantity, but not to the quality, of the bone tissue examined.
