Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) determined bone geometric characteristics in the femur, such as femoral mid-diaphyseal cross-sectional area, periosteal and endosteal perimeters and maximum and ...

In the 3-D cross section, it was clear the mass was not benign. It was a malignant cancer with an "irregular spongy woven bone texture with a cauliflower-like external appearance," the authors write.

In fact, some bacteria were associated with differences in the bone cross-sectional area, suggesting the possibility that certain microbes could influence how the bone changes size with aging ...

The researchers were able to remove pieces of the bone without destroying the valuable fossils. The resulting thin cross-sections of bone make it possible... Images of researchers examining the ...
