Nucl. Med. Technol.1987 Dec 01; 15 AB - Bone mineral content measurement using dual photon absorptiometry has reached widespread clinical use. Of significant concern is the identification of artifacts and their influence on bone mineral content measurements. We observed artifacts due to disease processes within the body or substances that were injected, ingested, or otherwise introduced into the body.
