Abstract
A mathematical method for the evaluation of a radiation dose during measurement of bone mineral content in the forearm exposed to a narrow beam of gamma rays is described. Bone mineral content was measured with the Cameron Sorenson method modified by Nilsson. The method was found to be very convenient, simple and relatively fast. Mathematically the exposure of 0.64 mR to which each point of the forearm is subjected during measurement proved negligible in comparison with the ICRP Recommendations (6).
