AB This article on bone mineral analysis is the third of the 1986 continuing education series. After reading this paper, the reader should be able to: 1) state the clinical indications for single- and dual-photon absorptiometry studies; 2) discuss the principles of the instruments, the procedures used with patients, and the results; and 3) identifiy and correct technical pitfalls that may occur during bone mineral studies.
