Description

This dataset comprises micro–computed tomography (μCT) images of intact proximal humeral bones from two cadaveric specimens (large and small) analysed in our accompanying exploratory study on humeral stem stability in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. For each specimen, μCT images of both the left and right humeri are provided.

Steps to reproduce

The original scans were performed on a large-volume µCT system (Nikon XT H 225 ST, Nikon Metrology, Tring, Hertfordshire, UK; 4056 x 4056-pixel array detector). The field of view contained the entire specimen, including a portion of the aluminium cup, at a 45 μm isotropic pixel size. The volume of images was acquired at a peak voltage 215 kVp, current 209 μA (45 W), using a 0.1 mm tin filter, a 0.21° rotation step over 360°, with a 2 s exposure time and 1 × binning. The images provided in the dataset are at approx. 1/8 resolution (352.74 μm isotropic pixel size).
