On Stress Driven Diffusion in Bone -- An Experimental Study
Abstract The transport of nutrients or signal constituents that stimulate growth of bone tissue is supposed to be affected by a static mechanical load. It follows from basic thermodynamical principles that constituents causing volumetric change are dragged along the gradients of hydrostatic stress. The present preliminary study examines the behaviour of iodine present in the medullary cavity of a bovine long bone exposed to mechanical load. A section of the bone is x-ray scanned with the static load present, with and without the iodine. The resulting distribution in a selected 2D plane is numerically evaluated using a discrete Radon's inverse transform. The result suggests that iodine is a useful constituent with a good attenuation effect on the x-ray beam and clearly reveals the temporal distribution of its transport through the bone. It further result shows some indication that stress does affect the iodine distribution.
