Abstract
With a slight modification of the EMI MK1 scanner a sensitive method for examination of the bone mineral content in the proximal tibia was achieved. The method allows an estimation of the amount of trabecular and cortical bone as well as their mineral content. The anatomic structure of the bone substance is demonstrated, differing in osteoporosis and osteomalacia. The reproducibility is acceptable.Keywords
