  • Title: Measurement of bone mineral content in human vertebrae and hip by dual photon absorptiometry.
    Author: Dunn WL, Wahner HW, Riggs BL.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Aug; 136(2):485-7. PubMed ID: 6773102.
    Abstract:
    An instrument for clinical measurement of bone mineral content in the axial skeleton was constructed. Components include a modified dual probe scanner, a PDP-11 computer, a 153Gd source, and a NaTI) detector. The results were accurate and highly reproducible, and distinction of osteoporotic women from normal age-matched women was superior to that accomplished with single photon absorptiometry in the radius.
