New perspectives on bone densitometry.
Methods of bone mineral density measurement are presented. Radiological photogrammetry, single photon absorptiometry, dual photon absorptiometry and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry are described. Mode of work of densitometers and their characteristics ares presented. Modern development of densitometric equipment and possible application in diagnosing of osteoporosis is discussed.
