The micro-architecture of human cancellous bone from fracture neck of femur patients in relation to the structural integrity and fracture toughness of the tissue (2015)
Journal Article

Osteoporosis is clinically assessed from bone mineral density measurements using dual energy X-ray absorption (DXA). However, these measurements do not always provide an accurate fracture prediction, arguably because DXA does not grapple with ‘bone q...

X-ray diffraction from bone employing annular and semi-annular beams (2015)
Journal Article

There is a compelling need for accurate, low cost diagnostics to identify osteotissues that are associated with a high risk of fracture within an individual. To satisfy this requirement the quantification of bone characteristics such as ‘bone quality... Read More about X-ray diffraction from bone employing annular and semi-annular beams.

Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction using an annular beam (2015)
Journal Article

We demonstrate material phase identification by measuring polychromatic diffraction spots from samples at least 20 mm in diameter and up to 10 mm thick with an energy resolving point detector. Within our method an annular X-ray beam in the form of a... Read More about Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction using an annular beam.
