Sample loading and SR-µCT imaging. (a) Trabecular bone plugs were collected from human femoral heads using a trephine drill and the middle part of the plugs were sawed off for testing. (b) Samples were compressed using a custom-made loading rig while imaging. (c) The X-ray scan FOV was smaller in height than the sample, thus only the middle part (black box) was imaged during loading. Both ends with overlapping regions were acquired before and after loading to image the entire plug (red dotted boxes).
