Abstract

This dataset contains the data and supporting materials generated for the study “Load-to-Failure Prediction Through CT-Based Subject-Specific FE Models: Effect of the Adopted CT Scanning Protocol.” Two cadaveric femurs and a calibration phantom were scanned using CT protocols combining two slice thicknesses (0.625 and 1.25 mm) and tube currents ranging from 80 to 180 mA. Subject-specific FE models were generated for each CT protocol, and sideways-fall simulations were performed to quantify and compare load-to-failure using the BBCT-hip pipeline [1]. The dataset includes processed finite element meshes, protocol-specific material properties, nodal maximum and minimum principal strains for each model, and load-to-failure values. Detailed instructions describing the CT-based FE modelling workflow are also provided to support reproducibility. Raw CT data from the scanned femurs and calibration phantom are additionally included.
