Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric measurements of BMC and BMD were made at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. |
|
Using a gamma photon absorptiometric technique, a time-effect curve was constructed for the bed rest state. |
|
Further studies are required and should lead to a confirmation of the interest of these absorptiometric indexes. |
|
One path utilizes existing absorptiometric equipment while the other relies on apparatus constructed specifically for the measurement of scattered light. |
