The bone radiographs of 43 potroom workers in an aluminium factory, on whom the diagnosis of industrial fluorosis had been confirmed by bone biopsy, are compared with radiographs from 18 control subjects. A higher frequency of ossification of ligament, tendon, and muscle attachments is observed among the fluoride exposed subjects. These changes increase with the bone fluoride content. The presence of hyperostosis is an important aid in the diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis. However, this radiological sign has to be complemented by clinical data and estimation of the concentration of urinary fluoride. Final confirmation of the diagnosis is obtained by bone biopsy.
对一家铝厂43名电解车间工人的骨骼X光片进行了研究，这些工人的工业性氟中毒诊断已通过骨活检得到证实，并与18名对照对象的X光片进行了比较。在接触氟化物的人群中，观察到韧带、肌腱和肌肉附着点的骨化频率更高。这些变化随着骨氟含量的增加而增加。骨质增生的存在对骨氟中毒的诊断有重要帮助。然而，这一放射学征象必须辅以临床数据和尿氟浓度的测定。诊断的最终确认通过骨活检获得。
