Published: July 2002

We explore the structural deterioration of human bone tissue in osteoporosis as a model for bone loss in microgravity conditions. Measures of complexity are applied to quantify the structural composition of bone tissue at six different skeletal locations. The complexity of the bone architecture and the rate of its decay during the bone loss are analyzed and compared with each other at the different locations.
