Porosity of bone substitutes Porosity of individual test samples was determined upon Micro-CT-scanning as described in the Materials and Methods. The total porosity (A), open porosity (B) and closed porosity (C) were determined. Each dot represents an individual test sample, and lines indicate the average value. The table below the figure shows the outcome of the pairwise comparisons (Student's T-test with Bonferroni correction). *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.005; ns, not statistically significantly different. Grey boxes represent the self-self combinations, which could not be tested.
