From: Cortical thickness of the tibial diaphysis reveals age- and sex-related characteristics between non-obese healthy young and elderly subjects depending on the tibial regions

Fig. 4

Schematic illustration of the tibial coordinate system and 12 regions divided by each of the three heights (proximal, central, and distal) and four areas (medial, anterior, lateral, and posterior). An anatomical coordinate system of the tibia was constructed. Twelve regions were created by combining three heights (proximal, 57%–70%; central, 43%–57%; distal, 30%–43%) and four areas of the axial plane (xy-plane) at 90° (medial, anterior, lateral, and posterior), comprising cortical thickness data from 200 to 1000 points in each region
