In Vivo Assessment of Elasticity of Child Rib Cortical Bone Using Quantitative Computed Tomography

Figure 4

Young’s modulus and BMD relationships of human cortical bones, derived from Duchemin et al. [22] and Öhman et al. [27]. The original data were ash densities and were converted into QCT density using the relationship between QCT density and ash density proposed by Kaneko et al. [25], Zhu et al. [31], and the current study.
