Experimental Studies Of Rat Injured Tibiae After Hene Radiation

Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to quantify bone morphology during post injury ossification in rat tibiae and characterize the differences induced by laser photostimulation compared with the naturally-occurring process. SEM and AFM images of the cortical bone at the recovery stages of 8 and 15 days after the injury are discussed.5287102107Lai, J.S.M., Tham, C.C.Y., Lam, D.S.C., (1999) Eye, 13, p. 26Bauerberg, J.M., (1999) J.
