5. 2) og øget absorption af strontium sammenlignet med calcium påvist ved røntgen førte til en udvidet måling af knoglernes mineraltæthed (BMD = bone mineral density) ved DXA- skanning (DXA = dual- energy x- ray absorptiometry).
The combined effects of strontium distribution in bone (see section 5.2) and increased X-ray absorption of strontium as compared to calcium, leads to an amplification of bone mineral density (BMD) measurement by dual-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
