Trabecular bone mineral density (TBMD) was measured in vivo in the calcaneus by a new method that uses the ratio of coherent to Compton-scattered photons arising from irradiation of a small volume of trabecular bone by a gamma ray source with highly collimated geometry. TBMD values for healthy men (22-77 years) were in the range of 180-357 mg/ml, and values for healthy women (18-73 years) were in the range of 160-321 mg/ml. In contrast, values in a small group of paraplegics were in the range of 90-199 mg/ml.
采用一种新方法在体内测量跟骨的小梁骨矿物质密度（TBMD），该方法利用具有高度准直几何结构的伽马射线源对一小部分小梁骨进行照射，通过相干光子与康普顿散射光子的比率来测量。健康男性（22 - 77岁）的TBMD值范围为180 - 357毫克/毫升，健康女性（18 - 73岁）的TBMD值范围为160 - 321毫克/毫升。相比之下，一小群截瘫患者的TBMD值范围为90 - 199毫克/毫升。
