Measurement methods for the experiments. a Lateral-view X-ray of the experimental region. The width of the regenerated bone was determined by calculating the length of the perpendicular line “X” at the midpoint of the longitudinal line “Y” in the defect. b Transverse-plane CT image of the central portion of the regenerated bone. c The bone mineral density was calculated by measuring the CT-determined Hounsfield units in the 5.5-mm diameter ROI at the center of the regenerated bone and the calibration phantom. d The non-uniformity of the bone mineral density was calculated by measuring the CT-determined Hounsfield units in the whole area W and in five points within the specified 1.5-mm diameter ROI
