Figure 3

Micro-CT 3D and 2D cross-sections of maxilla (a1-f1), mandible (a2-f2), and femur defect areas (a3-f3). 3D VOI, transverse and coronal plane cross-sectional images of control groups and ZA-treated group at week 2, week 4, and week 8. Red arrow points to periosteal reaction. Green and yellow arrows indicate bone sequestrum. 3D cylindrical sub-volume covered the defect area is the VOI for assessment of BMD and trabecular indices.
