Excerpt from The American X-Ray Journal, Vol. 5: July, 1899 Notice also that the illuminated front area is not right up to the plane of the anticathode but in front of it. More over, if we make the target cup-shaped with its concavity toward the cathode the dark girdle will extend forward, being wider. This appearance is well shown in Fig. 50. As we increase the depth of the concavity in the target the front illuminated area is pushed more forward. Under some conditions we can, on the contrary, make this girdle very narrow by using a flat target, a high vacuum and electro-motive force.

Excerpt from The American X-Ray Journal, Vol. 11: Devoted to Practical X-Ray Work and Allied Arts and Sciences; July 1902 I was honestly astonished at the sight that the tube revealed. Watches packed so closely together, that it was hardly possible to see the light between them. And all in this innocent looking I let Jack take a look, and he whistled in astonishment.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has established dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the best densitometric technique for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women and has based the definitions of osteopenia and osteoporosis on its results. DXA enables accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis, estimation of fracture risk and monitoring of patients undergoing treatment. Additional features of DXA include measurement of BMD at multiple skeletal sites, vertebral fracture assessment and body composition assessment, including fat mass and lean soft tissue mass of the whole body and the segments. This book contains reviews and original studies about DXA and its different uses in clinical practice (diagnosis of osteoporosis, monitoring of BMD measurement) and in medical research in several situations (e.g. assessment of morphological asymmetry in athletes, estimation of resting energy expenditure, assessment of vertebral strength and vertebral fracture risk, or study of dry bones such as the ulna).
