Evaluation of the 3D spatial distribution of the Calcium/Phosphorus ratio in bone using computed-tomography dual-energy analysis

Highlights • We test a CT technique for Ca/P ratio assessment in bone apatite. • We extend the technique for its application to intact bone. • Differences in Ca/P ratio are found between healthy and osteoporotic bones. • Potential in vitro and in vivo applications of the technique are described....
