title: [Quantifying mineralization processes in post-traumatic algodystrophy using computerized tomography densitometry].
abstract: Computed tomography examinations have been made in 12 patients with posttraumatic algodystrophy. Significant differences of sides were found to be a measure of demineralisation by CT densitometry. 7 patients could be repeatedly examined during up to 60 weeks after the trauma. CT-integrated densitometry enables to quantify the process of de- and remineralisation and to objectify the disease according to the spongiosa bone. It seems to be possible to value the process of mineralisation by this method.
