title: [SPA method; monitoring of bone mass during the treatment of osteoporosis].
abstract: Accuracy and precision are indispensable to evaluate bone mass by non-invasive bone mineral measurement. In this paper, the methodological problems, such as measuring site and positioning errors of bone are described. Furthermore, the methods of monitoring of bone mass during ADFR treatment and double blind study for osteoporosis are also discussed.
