FIGURE 1. Comparison of original CT images and corresponding segmented images of skeletal spongiosa within 5 transverse views through 1 study cadaver. (A and B) Superior region of skull (pink: cranium). (C and D) Inferior regions of skull (pink: cranium; blue: mandible). (E and F) Upper torso region (orange: humeral heads; navy blue: clavicles; cyan: scapulae; teal: cervical vertebrae; magenta: ribs). (G and H) Midtorso region (green: sternum; yellow: thoracic vertebrae; cyan: scapulae; magenta: ribs). (I and J) Pelvic region (red: ossa coxae; light blue: sacrum).
