Figure 4
(a, b) Examples of slices within Zernike-nanoCT data scanned on ANATOMIX. Line profiles (shown in orange in panels a and b) across the same lacuna at different heights reveal the gray-level profile along the sample. Orange arrows identify the outer edges of the bone sample. Halo regions in (a) and (b) have higher values compared with the surrounding, though different absolute values (as seen by the peaks shaded in yellow) and are located around the edges of the sample and near the lacuna void (peak shaded in blue). The values of the outer-margin halo peaks vary, and are lower in (a) than in (b) whereas the internal halos in the same lines show an opposite trend. Shade-off regions (indicated in light brown) are seen around the edges of bone and vary significantly between slices (a) and (b). The bone matrix far from edges or pores (shaded in green) has an intermediate gray value.
