High resolution 3D laboratory x-ray tomography data of femora from young, 1-14 day old C57BL/6 mice

This data article contains high resolution (1.2 µm effective pixel size) lab-based micro-computed tomography (µCT) reconstructed volume data of young C57BL/6 mouse femur bone midshafts. This data formed the basis for the analyses of bone structure development in healthy mice, including closed and open porosity as reported in http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2015.03.027. The data reveal changes seen in bone material and porosity distribution in young animals aged 1 to 14 days old.The mouse bones transform from porous scaffolds into solid structures during normal organogenesis. The large data may be freely used by others and in all research areas.
