Loading curves and characteristics of samples used for DVC analysis. (a) Stress–strain compressive loading curves until ultimate stress for each sample. The drops in the curves are due to the relaxation of the sample while stopping the loading during imaging. Open circles indicate the yield points. (b) Samples’ characteristics such as gender, age, sample tissue mineral density (TMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th.), apparent modulus (App. Mod.), and ultimate stress (Ultim. stress).
