title: [Radiation diagnosis of involutional osteopenia].
abstract: 160 patients with involutive osteopaenia were investigated. The diagnostic possibilities of roentgenography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography were evaluated. There was determined that roentgenography gives the possibility to determine the common localisation and the expressiveness of the pathologic process. MRI and CT give a valuable additional information on early stages of osteopaenia and it's complications.
