Foreword The third edition of Bone Densitometry in Clinical Practice by Dr. Sydney Lou Bonnick is the crown jewel in her seminal efforts to educate us all in the fundamentals as well as the advanced applications of bone densitometry. This edition shares common themes of her life’s work: accuracy in all she does and precision in her science. One cannot, put very simply, find another book on bone densitometry that compares to the thoroughness of her work, and, in that regard, this book should be on the shelf of every medical library, medical student, house-officer, academic faculty member, practicing clinician, and radiology technologist – this edition offers each and every one at every level the latest and greatest in bone densitometry.
