DEF

A method for measuring cortical thickness. [From REBON, 1988, p. 2000.]

CONT

Radiogrammetry is based upon vernier caliper measurements of the total subperiosteal diameter and the medullary cavity width of the second metacarpal at its midshaft. These dimensions are compared with norms and standards according to age, sex, and race. This yields an estimate of the relative rates of subperiosteal surface apposition and endosteal surface resorption. [From GBONE, 1980, p. 24.]
