Finite Element Modeling of the Cortical Bone Region Using Clinical CT Images

Since the cortical bone has higher elastic modulus compared to the cancellous bone, its geometry is very important for stress analysis of bone structure. During finite element modeling of bone structure, cortical bone is generally determined as the region having higher CT values with respect to spec...
