Project Goals Quantified evaluation of arthritis in mice using Micro-CT imaging of excised naïve, mild and severe paw samples to identify: • Joint Cortical Bone Volume (JCBV) • Cortical Bone Density (CBD) • Periosteal New Bone Volume (PNBV)
Micro-CT Imaging ParametersGM-I X-O™ MicroCT • Cone beam x-ray source • X-ray source voltage = 75 keV • 50 µm pixel pitch with 3x magnification • 17 µm reconstructed voxel size • 1024 projections • 500 msec integration time • 390 µA total current • 0.15 Gy radiation dose • 8 minute acquisiton
GM-I Study • Images • 3D Surface Rendering of Cortical Bone Naïve Severe
GM-I Study • Images • Segmentation of MTP Joints 1 mm above and 2 mm below the joint
GM-I Study • Images • Cross-Sections of Segmented Cortical Bone (A) and Periosteal New Bone (B) A Threshold: Cortical 2200 / New Bone 1500 B
GM-I Study Results • Cortical Bone Density • Naïve 2622.67 • Mild 2727.67 • Severe 2659.981
GM-I Study Results • Joint Cortical Bone Volume • Naïve • 0.36 mm3 (2nd) • 0.36 mm3 (3rd) • 0.36 mm3 (4th) S.D. = 0 • Mild • 0.48 mm3 (2nd) • 0.48 mm3 (3rd) • 0.50 mm3 (4th) S.D. = .0115 • Severe • 0.26 mm3 (2nd) • 0.22 mm3 (3rd) • 0.19 mm3 (4th) S.D. = .035
GM-I Study Results • Periosteal New Bone Volume • Naïve • 7.35 mm3 (48%) • 15.30 mm3 (Total bone volume) • Mild • 7.12 mm3 (43%) • 16.26 mm3 (Total bone volume) • Severe • 7.67 mm3 (59%) • 12.9 mm3 (Total bone volume)
GM-I Study Bone volumes and density were calculated using built-in software for quantification analysis
