TL;DR: A quantifiable unit, Hounsfield units (bone density measurement), in computed tomography (CT) found that the photobiomodulation group had a significantly decreased width of the fracture site between pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements, showing that photobiOModulation could be a relatively easy and effective treatment to promote healing of fractured turtle shells.
