Abstract
Bone cement porosity measurement techniques were compared with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) method using micro computer tomography (μCT). Eighteen cylindrical specimens were randomly selected for testing from batches of bone cement. All of the specimens were scanned initially using a μCT scanner at a resolution of 20 μm. It was concluded that the μCT measurements provide a better means of measuring cement porosity than traditional 2D techniques.
