Histograms show values of VB and VH (in mm) in simulated scenarios. Results show that osteoporotic models are less stable compared to respective normal BMD models. Scatterplots show increments of VB and VH (in percentage) normalized to the respective baseline values, to highlight the trend of increment. Results show that metastasis size greater affects normal BMD models stability compared to osteoporotic ones
