    Digital roentgenodensitometry established normal bone mineral values. Reduced bone compactness was observed in endocrine diseases, Chernobyl liquidators, and those with skeletal pain, highlighting the method's monitoring value.

    Area of Science:

    • Bone mineral metabolism and endocrine disorders.
    • Radiological assessment of skeletal health.

    Background:

    • Establishing normal bone mineral composition is crucial for diagnosing skeletal abnormalities.
    • Various conditions, including endocrine diseases and exposure to environmental hazards, can affect bone density.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define normal values for bone mineral composition using digital roentgenodensitometry.
    • To assess the utility of digital roentgenodensitometry in identifying reduced bone compactness in specific populations.
    • To evaluate its role in monitoring treatment efficacy for endocrine diseases and chronic renal insufficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Digital roentgenodensitometry was employed to examine 600 male and female volunteers across different age groups.
    • Bone mineral composition was quantitatively assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Normal bone mineral composition values were established based on the volunteer cohort.
    • Significantly reduced mineral compactness was identified in patients with endocrine diseases.
    • Lower bone mineral compactness was also noted in individuals involved in Chernobyl disaster aftermath mitigation and those experiencing skeletal pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Digital roentgenodensitometry is a valuable tool for defining normal bone mineral composition.
    • The method effectively detects reduced bone compactness in conditions like endocrine diseases, Chernobyl liquidator exposure, and skeletal pain.
    • Digital roentgenodensitometry serves as an important method for monitoring treatment effectiveness in patients with endocrine diseases and chronic renal insufficiency.
