摘要

Apparatus for determining the osseous mineral content by partial absorption of ionizing rays by a source preferably constituted by two elements. It comprises a mobile carriage on slides and two arms carrying the transmitter block for the radioactive beam and the receiver block and articulated in such a way that the incidence of the beam can either be horizontal or vertical. The receiver block is provided with a plurality of sensors making it possible to produce a bidimensional image.
