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

Figure 5

Correlation and consistent analysis between the two resolution models of nine bovine vertebral bodies for strength and stiffness. (a) Linear regression using the estimated strength of QCT/FEA models with the PB resolution as predictors for those with the PA resolution. (b) Linear regression using the estimated stiffness of QCT/FEA models with the PB resolution as predictors for those with the PA resolution. (c) Bland-Altman plot for strength. (d) Bland-Altman plot for stiffness.
