(a) Absorption-based volume rendering from µCT of the human trabecular-bone intact 3D sample, performed after SASTT scanning. (b) SAXS tensor tomography on the sample showing the orientation and normalized degree of orientation, the latter length and colour coded, of mineralized collagen fibres. (c) 3D sSAXS of the same trabecula from 38 consecutive sections stacked up. (d) Absolute value of the dot product between the orientation obtained from the SAXS tensor tomography and 3D sSAXS of the sectioned sample; dot product = 1 for perfect agreement between the two methods. |
