High-resolution computed tomography (CT) is widely used to assess bone structure under
physiological and pathological conditions. Although the analytic protocols and parameters …

Material extrusion (MEX), commonly referred to as fused deposition modeling (FDM) or
fused filament fabrication (FFF), is a versatile and cost-effective technique to fabricate …

Abstract Background and Objective: Measuring the thickness of cortical bone tissue helps
diagnose bone diseases or monitor the progress of different treatments. This type of …

Background When developing a surrogate model of the human skull, there is a multitude of
morphometric and geometric properties to consider when constructing the model. To simplify …

Background Medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA) accounts for most KOA cases,
and increased trabecular bone volume fraction (BV/TV) is one of the pathological changes in …

Advanced physical head models capable of replicating both global kinematics and
intracranial mechanics of the human head are required for head injury research and safety …

The circumstances in which we mechanically test and critically assess human calvarium
tissue would find relevance under conditions encompassing real-world head impacts. These …

Background Whole-body-less-head (WBLH) is the recommended skeletal region of interest
(ROI) for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) assessment of bone mineral density …

Introduction Contemporary dietary and nutritional transitions are commonplace, but difficult
to study directly. In Brazil, and Latin America, this generalized process, leading to current …

A surrogate model of the human calvarium can be used to assess skull-fracture-related head
injuries without continuously requiring post-mortem human skulls. Skull simulants …
