Abstract

Scanning osteodensitometry helped to study mineral saturation of lumbar vertebra in individuals who liquidated Chernobyl accident consequences. Bone mineral density appeared to depend on radiation dose obtained by the examinees. High risk of osteoporosis revealed in the examinees who participated in the liquidation in 1986. The authors stress that the examinees should be covered by the skeletal state monitoring possible only with osteodensitometry. The article justify that biphotonic scanning osteodensitometers are expedient in Health Care Centers for individuals who liquidated Chernobyl accident consequences.
