# TRABECULAR ARCHITECTURAL EFFECTS ON MATERIAL PROPERTIES

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 1988 · $79,137

## Abstract

The objective of this project is to determine the relationship between the
morphological and architectural configuration of trabecular bone and its
mechanical properties.

Utilizing a unique, developmental, three-dimensional computed tomography
system with a resolution of better than 100 microns, direct statistical
correlations between quantified measures of trabecular architecture and
subsequent experimentally determined orthogonal mechanical properties will
be made in human cadaver trabecular bone specimens.

Results of the study will provide a tool for both clinical and laboratory
continued studies and treatments related to the effects of physiologic or
mechanical environmental alterations on trabecular bone.
