title: Experimental calcipenic osteopathy.
abstract: Calcipenic osteopathy was used as a model, in order to reveal the diagnostic value and capacity of the noninvasive radiological methods (microradioscopy, densitometry, and Roentgen-morphometry), in comparison with the results of histological, histomorphometrical, and atomic absorption methods. The study proved that calcipenic diet causes an osteoporosis in the experimental animals. The alterations observed meet both the histological and radiological criteria.
