Graphics processing units (GPUs) are used today in a wide range of applications, mainly
because they can dramatically accelerate parallel computing, are affordable and energy …

This contribution reviews recent research performed to assess the porosity and permeability
of bone tissue with the objective of understanding interstitial fluid movement. Bone tissue …

Bone is a complex, hierarchically organized organ system whose composition and structure
are closely related to, and in many ways controlled by, the functional demands made upon it …

Current micro–computed tomography (µCT) systems allow scanning bone at resolutions
capable of three‐dimensional (3D) characterization of intracortical vascular porosity and …

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT)—a version of X-ray CT operating at high spatial
resolution—has had a considerable success for the investigation of trabecular bone micro …

The lacunar-canalicular network (LCN) of bone contains osteocytes and their dendritic
extensions, which allow for intercellular communication, and are believed to serve as the …

This review article focuses on imaging of bone tissue to understand skeletal health with
regards to bone quality. Skeletal fragility fractures are due to bone diseases such as …

Recent studies have demonstrated matrix-mineral alterations in bone tissue surrounding
osteocytes in estrogen-deficient animals. While cortical bone porosity has been shown to be …

Loading-induced interstitial fluid flow in the microporosities of bone is critical for osteocyte
mechanotransduction and for the maintenance of tissue health, enhancing convective …

Osteocyte lacunae are small cavities within the bone matrix. Their dimensions and spatial
arrangement affect bone mechanical properties. Furthermore, their size and shape affect the …
