Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.21, no.5, p.760 (1976). The origins of inherent sources of error in results of measurements of bone density by a photon scattering technique are described and their effects are predicted theoretically. The predictions are confirmed experimentally. The prime source of error is multiple scattering. A procedure has been developed to correct the observed densities for effects of multiple scattering.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
