Description

The author deals with the scanning of femoral head slices from both normal and osteoporosis subjects using Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Fluorescence (SRXRF) microprobe technique. The sample preparation and experimental apparatus are described in detail. The Quantitative Computerized Tomography (QCT) of elemental distribution, such as Ca, P, K, Fe, Zn, Sr and Pb, in bone slice tissue including cartilage, substantial compact and substantial spongy is investigated. Combined with the correlation between P, K, Zn, Sr and Ca, the loss way of minerals and the physiological functions of some metal elements in bone are also discussed
