While conventional CT imaging produces images with a slice thickness of roughly 1mm, MicroCT is capable of resolving detail in the micrometre (μm) range. This…
The Optotrak Certus provides the laboratory with research-quality spatial and temporal location accuracy. The system carries a maximum marker frequency of 4600 Hz, with a…
Bone growth color coded at specific distances from dowel surface. Area of zones are then calculated. Red zone against dowel surface is 100 microns thick.
The 6 Degrees of Freedom Spine Simulator is the centerpiece of the biomechanics testing laboratory. Reproducing normal spinal kinematics during testing is crucial for accurate,…
Novel studies often require novel testing methods. Rapid prototyping coupled with 3D printing gives us the ability to create custom testing fixtures based on the…
Strain gauge measurements provide the laboratory with a wealth of information, including intradiscal pressures, rod deformation characteristics, and modulus of elasticity results.
Fluoroscopy in the laboratory is an invaluable tool. Real-time fluoroscopic video allows us to gain a better understanding of the specific kinematic conditions occurring during…
The image above was acquired from a 3D MicroCT volume, and represents a bioactive dowel used in an in-vivo investigational study of various biomaterials (ovine…
