Effects of Scan Resolutions and Element Sizes on Bovine Vertebral Mechanical Parameters from Quantitative Computed Tomography-Based Finite Element Analysis

Figure 4

The results of two bovine vertebral body QCT/FEA models (model 2 and model 5): load-displacement curves from the two resolution models (left column), von Mises stress distributions from QCT/FEA models with the PA resolution (middle column), and von Mises stress distributions from QCT/FEA models with the PB resolution (right column).
