Ex vivo evaluation of a coherent normalization procedure to quantify in vivo finger strontium XRS measurements
Abstract
PURPOSE: Energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRS) measurements were performed on human cadaver index fingers to measure bone strontium content in the presence of intact overlying soft-tissue. This work assesses the feasibility of applying a normalization procedure including soft-tissue correction of x-ray absorption as a means to quantify an ex vivo bone strontium XRS measurement.
METHODS: Bone strontium measurements were made …
