Computed tomography (CT) provides precise anatomic localization coupled with
quantitative x-ray attenuation information that can be used to determine bone mineral …

Biophysical Bone Behaviour: Principles and Applications is the culmination of efforts to
relate the biophysical phenomena in bone to bone growth and electrical behavior. Behari …

Thyrotoxicosis is a known cause of loss of bone and muscle mass. Bone mineral mass was
studied by partial body in vivo neutron activation analysis, in which stable 48Ca is converted …

Thirty-two patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis have been followed for periods of 3 yr
or more to assess the effects of treatment on bone mineral mass based on sequential …

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Osteoporosis is defined morphologically as a decreased
mineralized bone volume (osteopenia) due to a reduced total bone volume. A distinction …

Specific gravity, porosity index (physical parameters), hydroxyproline, calcium, magnesium,
and phosphorus (chemical parameters) were determined in iliac crest trabecular bone of …

In vivo neutron activation has opened a new era of research on the elemental composition of
the human body. The techniques currently employed vary widely with respect to sources …

Long-term anticonvulsant drug therapy may lead to abnormalities of calcium metabolism
resulting in osteomalacia. The prevalence and severity of altered calcium metabolism was …

Partial-body calcium measurements by in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) were
correlated with radiographic measurements of bone mineral mass and density, external …

The bone calcium status of 39 patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis has been
measured by in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) and reported in terms of a calcium …
