dual photon absorptiometry
The use of two sources of radiation of different energies to measure the density of a material; especially, bone.
Bone densitometry is a method of determining the density of bone by use of radiographic techniques. The use of dual photon absorptiometry will provide density data of the axial skeleton with a precision of 97 percent to 98 percent. It is used in testing for the degree of osteoporosis.
