Abstract
AbstractSmall‐angle X‐ray scattering methods were applied to provide a pore analysis of cancerous human bone (osteoclastoma). For experimental measurements of the scattering intensities a small‐angle Kratky camera, equipped with a counterattachment and a programmable step‐scanning device, was used. By applying the theories of Kratky, Porod, Debye, and Bueche, applicable to a densely packed two‐phase system belonging to a general micelle system, macromolecular parameters such as specific inner surface, length of coherence, range of inhomogeneity, void percentage, and transversal lengths l̄1 and l̄2 were evaluated and found to be 4.69 × 10−4 Å−1, 21.39 Å, 18.01 Å, 0.21%, 18.01 Å and 8.53 × 103 Å, respectively. A comparison of these parameters with those of pure human bone revealed a macromolecular dissociation in osteoclastoma.
