Description
This book discusses the clinical applications of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for bone mineral measurement. The accuracy of the modality in determining bone mineral composition has proved invaluable in metabolic bone disorders and in determining the onset of osteoporosis. Written by two experts in the field, this text reflects their combined experience of technique and clinical application. It is intended for radiologists, rheumatologists and orthopaedic surgeons.
