ABSTRACT
A procedure for the determination of vertebral trabecular bone "Porosity" is described. The method employs the determination of the volume of trabecular bone tissue by means of displacement in organic solvent. Data from 49 post-mortem subjects is presented and shows that some 16 percent of this group have a bone porosity level 50 percent or more below that of normal mature bone (AU)
