[Standard linear x-ray densitometry as a method of intravital determination of the mineral saturation of bone tissue].

The method of standard linear roentgenodensitometry represented in the work in comparison with other methods of photo- and densitometry eliminates, to a certain extent, the influence of many side factors affecting the investigation results and allows to establish a real intravital content of phosphorous calcium salts in the bone tissue. The method in question gives an objective quantitative information on the condition of mineral saturation in the human skeleton, can and must find a wide application both for elucidation of the limits of, so called, normal mineral saturation of human bones at different ages and to study bone system adaptation for different environment influences.
