Utilização da tomografia computadorizada quantitativa como teste de resistência para avaliação de placas ósseas / Quantitative computed tomography as a test of endurance for evaluation of bony plates

ABSTRACT

Quantitative computed tomography was used to determine the radiodensity of bony plates. The CT scans provided information regarding radiodensity of bony plates and allowed to verify the uniformity of bone mineral density in their scope. The proposed methodology should be considered as another tool for determining the resistance of these biomaterials.
