Pixel-mapping algorithms. x¯, y¯ are the coordinates of the modulus-weighted centroid, and da represents a single pixel with dimensions determined by the resolution of the computed
tomography image.

The slope of the regression line for the correlation between the quantitative computed tomography (QCT)-predicted and the measured failure loads (Fz) was dependent on defect
location (p = 0.023).
