Representative micro-CT images of excised rabbit tibiae at 17 days post-surgery. Left column: Cross-section views through the center of the defect showing newly formed bone as slightly opaque in untreated (control), alkylene oxide copolymer- and oxidized regenerated cellulose-treated defects, and an absence of opacity in microfibrillar collagen-treated defects (bar = 5.0 mm). Center and right columns: micro-CT generated binarized images of mineralized tissue of the defect area (center) and area analyzed within the defect (right). AOC-treated and untreated (control) defects show substantial, well developed mineralized tissue, ORC-treated defect shows a more diffuse structure of mineralized tissue, and minimal mineralized tissue is observed within the MFC-treated defect.
