µCT Analysis SW

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides examples and applications of SCANCO Finite Element Software, focusing on the analysis of bone structures using various imaging techniques.

Specifications: The software is used for finite element analysis of bone, particularly in-vivo measurements with XtremeCT. It supports conversion of micro-CT scans into input files for third-party solvers using voxel-conversion and marching tetrahedron algorithms.

Procedures: Examples include the analysis of Von Mises stress distribution in vertebrae and the calculation of average elastic properties of trabecular bone. A compression test is performed on the radius section measured with XtremeCT.

Applications: The software is applicable for mechanical analysis of XtremeCT, vivaCT, and microCT images, facilitating the generation of brick, tetrahedron, or mixed element models.

Contact Information: SCANCO Medical AG is based in Switzerland, with contact details provided for both their Swiss and USA offices.

SCANCO Finite Element Software The Scanco Finite Element software consists of several additional software modules to enable Finite Element (FE) analyses. With this type of analyses it is possible to simulate mechanical tests in order to calculate bone mechanical properties and loading conditions. • A solver for linear elastic microstructural finite element • A solver for non-linear continuum finite element analyses using fabric/density based properties1 • An export tool to convert micro-CT images to input files for 3rd party FE-solvers • Tools for pre- and post processing Finite element solvers...
