骨腫瘍に対するBMA応用の試み

抄録

To study the bone metabolism in tumorous condition, bone mineral analyzer was applied in several cases with bone and soft tissue tumors, such as osteosarcoma, enchondroma and calcifying aponeurotic fibroma.
Bone mineral content (BMC) was measured using Norland-Cameron Bone Mineral Analyzer Model 178, and which was compared with radiodensity of bone on X-ray films and with radioactivity of ^99mTc-scintigrams.
According this comparative study, BMC was parallel with radiodensity of X-ray film, but no correlation with radioactivity of scintigram.
