Abstract
A low-cost portable non-invasive densitometer is described. While the present system is optimized for lung densitometry, similar configurations can be used for bone densitometry and in industrial applications.
Résumé
On décrit un densitomètre portable, à faible prix ne nécessitant aucune injection. Bien que ce dispositif ait été développé essentiellement en vue de la densitométrie du poumon, il pourra trouver des applications en densitométrie des os, voire dans des domaines industriels.
