[Standardization of bone tissue densitometry].
Traditional X-ray technique have proved be scarcely reliable in determining bone tissue mineral status especially when comparing X-rays made at different times. The use of ergal or hydroxylapatite samples has been put forward to resolve this problem since, when used together with computerised imaging techniques, they allow a more precise and quantitative analysis to be made. The velidity of tyhis technique is confirmed by an experimental trial on animal bone.
