Abstract
An X-ray bone densitometer has been developed which makes direct tracings of absorption curves on a nearly linear scale. Speed and precision are increased by elimination of x-ray film. Results are reproducible to within 3 percent with a phantom finger, and within 6 percent with human subjects.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
