Live CT scan images of the rabbit prevertebral muscle. Live CT scans were taken 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery. The amount of hydrogen gas increased from 2 weeks to 8 weeks post-implantation. The largest amount of hydrogen was produced by the high-purity Mg implant and the smallest by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-treated Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy
