Measurement of bone density using I-125 computed tomography
Osteoporosis is a painful condition characterised by a reduced bone mineralisation resulting in an increased fracture risk. A precise measurement of skeletal mineral is important for early diagnosis and for monitoring the response to treatment. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a spe...
