摘要: Conventional bone histomorphometry performed on iliac crest biopsies does not generally provide unbiased stereological estimates of parameters related to structure due the anisotropy trabecular bone; this, however, can be obtained with vertical sections, which are anisotropic in combination an test system. A practical procedure for obtaining sections from is described. The new parameter, star volume, estimation absolute mean size marrow space and thus give indirect estimate connectivity structure. volume vertebral bodies increases age both sexes demonstrating that structural changes occur a topological one connectivity. including sampling efficiency © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
