title: [Current methods and equipment in densitometry of the bone tissue].
abstract: In the past 15 years there has been an intensive development of methods and equipment for non-invasive quantitative determination of the mineral status of the human skeleton in the USA and some Western European countries. The specialized osseous densitometers which are based on photon absorptiometry and which use various radionuclides or an X-ray tube as a source of radiation have extensively spread.
