| Head lateral views showed focal increased uptake at both frontal bones and vertical enlargement of the diploe and mandibular bones. |
|
| It is 1 mm thicker than that of the previous case due to patient anatomic differences in diploe thickness. |
|
| The bone microanatomy of the osteoderms is variable: whereas some specimens have a rather compact structure, others show a diploe architecture with a central cancellous core bordered by two compact cortices. |
|
| Bleeding from the diploe was stopped using bone wax. |
|
| Because an up-pointing dipole with positive current is identical to down-pointing diploe with negative currents, the direction of the BAUs was ignored. |
|
| Using a combination of slightly curved and straight osteotomies, the bone grafts were dislodged from the diploe. |
|
| The frontal sinus appears during the second year of life as excavations into the diploe of the frontal bone. |
|
| On impact the bone splits between the diploe and the plates, leaving fractures bevelled on the internal faces. |
|
| The dura mater, which lines the interior of the skull, serves the purpose of an internal periosteum to the cranial bones, so in terms of painful structures both layers of the diploe may behave similar. |
|
| The skull and mandible of proboscideans often lag behind other skeletal elements in a depositional environment, mainly because of flotation of the skull due to diploe. |
