Establishment of a reliable coordinate system.
<p>By manually identifying anterior superior iliac spines and pubic tubercles, a larger area defined as a point cloud (pink) was automatically selected, and the midsagittal pelvic plane (red) was computed from these points using an iterative closest-point algorithm.</p

Systematic error evaluation.
<p>Standardized, simplified 3D virtual pelvic models were created using SOLIDWORKS<sup>™</sup> 2015 software (Dassault Systemes, Waltham, Massachusetts) and imported into 3D Acetabulometer as the true (predetermined) value of the 3D orientation, for comparison with the value measured with the algorithm.</p

Histological evaluation of bone formation upon implantation of the three ceramics in dorsal muscles of dogs for 12 weeks.
<p>The highest amount of osteoid and ectopic bone were observed in BCP1100 (A), followed by BCP1200 (B) an HA1200 (C). In all cases, bone was trabecular in appearance, with laminar bone and osteocytes contained in the lacunae, and infiltrated by blood vessels. Decalcified sections, Masson’s trichrome staining, magnification = ×100, scale bar = 200 µm; V→Blood vessel, CT→Connective tissue, M→Material, O→Osteoid tissue, B→Bone.</p
