[The diagnostic value of conventional x-ray diagnosis and quantitative mineral measurements in patients with clinical symptoms of osteoporosis].
The problem of differentiating between patients suffering from osteoporosis and those with healthy bones is discussed on the basis of distribution of the age-specific and sex-specific mineral salt values in a healthy population and in a population with clinically manifest osteoporosis. By comparing the results of quantitative mineralometry and conventional x-ray films of the human skeleton in a histologically clarified group of persons with clinically manifest osteoporosis signs and symptoms, the diagnostic ranking of both methods is assessed and discussed.
