Fig. 2From: Characterization of mechanical stiffness using additive manufacturing and finite element analysis: potential tool for bone health assessmentOverview of 3D printed phantoms visualized to scale. The control phantom was used to characterize the anisotropy and elastic modulus of the materials. The emu and shrew phantom were tested to build up to the complexity of the vertebral trabecular bone phantoms. Only 12 out of the 20 trabecular bone phantoms tested in this study are displayedBack to article page
