title: [Quantitative computerized tomography of peripheral body parts (pQCT)--results of measurements in healthy women from the Polish population].
abstract: The authors present a new method in densitometry-quantitative computerized tomography of peripheral body parts (pQCT). It takes into account the volume of measured bones expressing the results as density in physical sense, and makes possible differentation of internal bone structure with a very low exposure (up to 6 mrem for a complete measurement). The authors have begun also work on gathering reference data for the Polish population and they present the preliminary results of measurements in an initial group of 97 women.
