Abstract
The established techniques of scanning photon densitometry and radiographic microdensitometry for the analysis of bone mineral content are compared with results obtained using a modified EMI brain scanner [in osteoporotic rabbits]. The EMI method shows significantly greater sensitivity to changes in bone density than either of the other 2 methods. This latter method also has the added advantage of being able to visualize and measure the density of trabecular bone, which is a very sensitive indicator of bone mineral changes.
