REVIEW OF ROENTGENOGRAPHIC BONE DEMINERALIZATION STUDIES OF THE GEMINI SPACE FLIGHTS

Abstract

pated in bone density studies in 3 of the Gemini space flights, the results of which were published a number of years ago in this Journal.2 The report involves computations which were not presented previously as well as some re-evaluations of old data in view of recent improvements in technology. It is felt that this information should be reported in order to clarify questions raised by some of the original data which reported unexplainably large losses in skeletal calcium during space flight.
