Mean (SD) of indentation modulus (GPa) for labeled and unlabeled osteons derived by the two methods, quasi-static (QS) and continuous stiffness measurement (CSM). There are no difference in the IM between the two methods for the labeled ( $\text{[math]}$ ) and unlabeled ( $\text{[math]}$ ) osteons.
