    Body Burdens of Caesium-137 in Toronto in 1964–1967

    SINCE 1958 the caesium-137 body burden of persons living in Toronto who have no history of radioactive contamination apart from that present in the normal population has been measured regularly. When the last ...

    Protective effect on vitamin D2 on bone apposition from the inhibitory action of hydrocortisone in rats

    Using the technique of short interval sequential tetracycline labeling, it was documented that the apposition of mineralized bone matrix in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats was inhibited by hydrocortisone. The i...

    Relative Sensitivities of Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry and in Vivo Neutron Activation Analysis for the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis is a common problem after menopause. There are a number of methods to assess bone mass. Among them dual-energy X-ray absorpticmetry (DXA) is one with very low radiation and high precision1,2 but its ...

    Can we Improve the Diagnostic Value of Bone Mass Measurements by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry with Neutron Activation Analysis?

    Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used widely for measurement of bone mass. With DXA, reproducibility is good (1–2%), radiation exposure is negligible (<5 mR) and test costs are acceptable. The validit...
