Dear colleagues
I plan to do microCT scan and analysis of 4 mm cranial defect model in rats. However, I am confused about several technical things.
I did the bone defect treatment by using several types of hydroxyapatites covered with a collagen membrane in different animal groups. At the end of the treatments, some remaining materials and the whole collagen membrane are still left in the defect site. I am afraid that the remaining material will appear in the CT scan, making the bone growth analysis difficult. Because of this, I wonder if is it appropriate to remove the remaining material and the attached collagen membrane. My planned analysis is BV/TV and BMD.
If yes, I would be glad if you could suggest a procedure to remove them at the defect site considering that the cranial bone of the rat is thick and may easily be brittle.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Maria
dear Maria
I have also done MCT scan analysis on periodontitis models in mice and I have treated scaffold and MSCs composite MCT analysis in MIPA ITB, you can contact Dr. Fourier Dzar Latief best regards

Dear Dr Desi Sandra Sari
Thank you very much Dr for your recommendation. I have contacted Dr. Fourier about that.
Best regards,
