Abstract:
Dual-photon absorptiometry is a reliable method for the assessment of bone mineral content (BMC). The presence of focal bone disease, degenerative joint disease, or aortic calcifications may complicate the evaluation of BMC and may lead to erroneous findings. The misleading effect of a porcelain gallbladder is described.
