Correlation between UTE MR measurements (total water concentration, short T2*, long T2*, short T2* fraction and long T2* fraction), μCT cortical porosity and biomechanical properties (Young’s Modulus, Failure Strain, Ultimate Stress, Yield Strain, Yield Stress and Failure Energy) of 32 human cortical bone samples. R-values (top) and P-values (bottom) are shown.
