(a) Correlation between applied tissue strain and measured mineral strain. Segmental-shift approach for bone tissue [44] gives closer relationship having lower R² value. (b) Comparison of mineral strain along loading direction with the previous results using scintillation counter [44] at applied strain of 0.001. A similar standard error range in the case of imaging plate was observed by the segmental-shift (SS) method. Lower standard errors were obtained in the case of imaging plate for all the three approaches (n=5). (Plotted with permission from [58] © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.)
