title: [Quantitative analysis of bone tissue. Correlation of several radio-morphometric indices with gamma-absorptiometric mineralometry].
abstract: According to results of experimental study on 70 women, either normal or osteoporotic, the authors come to a critical valuation of known radio-morphometric index concerning the measure of amount of bone and propose the cortical planimetric percent area of the second right hand metacarpal as original radio-morphometric index, greatly correlated (r = 0,879) to gamma-absorptsiometric mineralometry.
