Críticas

"...serve[s] as a valuable guide to practitioners who are beginning bone density studies and as a source of additional expert advice to those who already perform these examinations." - Radiology This book reads easily, is well illustrated and the techniques are described in a comprehensive manner. It gives straight and unbiased opinion on some very practical problems, for instance which site to measure, when to make a second measurement after a given treatment. It certainly fills a gap with its clarity and its very practical approach of this widely used technique. - Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
