Application of Surface Roughness Analysis on Micro–Computed Tomographic Images of Bone Erosion: Examples Using a Rodent Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Quantifying the bone erosion in preclinical models of rheumatoid arthritis is valuable for the evaluation of drug treatments. This study introduces a three-dimensional method for bone surface roughness measurement from micro–computed tomographic data obtained from rats subjected to collagen-induced...
