The effect of overlying calcification on lumbar bone densitometry

We studied bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine using dual photon absorptiometry, as well as standard anterior-posterior and lateral lumbar spine X-ray film in 113 ambulatory elderly male volunteers with a mean age of 72 years (range 66-91 years). Each subject had three measurements taken for lum...
