Output parameters for micro-CT examination of trabecular bone.
| | Parameter | Abbreviation (unit) | Meaningfulness |
| | Bone volume/tissue volume | BV/TV (%) | The percentage of trabecular bone volume in the selected volume of interest | | Bone surface/bone volume (specific bone surface) | BS/BV (mm−1) | The ratio of solid surface to bone volume which characterizing the thickness and complexity of trabecular structures | | Bone surface/tissue volume | BS/TV (mm−1) | The ratio of solid surface in the selected volume of interest | | Trabecular thickness | Tb.Th (mm) | The thickness of trabecular structures | | Trabecular number | Tb.N (mm−1) | The number of traversals across a trabecular structure per unit in selected VOI | | Trabecular separation | Tb.Sp (mm) | The thickness of space in selected VOI, in which higher value indicates reduced connectivity | | Bone mineral density | BMD (g/cm3) | The mass of bone mineral per volume of bone |
