- 68 - ABSTRACT A bone-morphometric apparatus and a morphometric bone assay system. The bone-morphometric apparatus (20) comprises a bone-morphometric data processing unit (32) comprising an image storage means, such as an image memory (56), a microprocessor (60), a ROM (61), a RAM (62), output means (25) for providing the results of bone-morphometric data processing operation, an input means, such as a keyboard (26), for entering reference points or reference marks to specify an object measuring region, and point input means (24). The bone-morpho- metric data processing unit (32) stores the digital data of a roentgenographic image (22a) of a sample bone formed on an X-ray film (22) simultaneously with an image of a given standard block (11), obtained by illuminating the X-ray film with illuminating light emitted by a light source (41) and automatically detecting the quantity of light transmitted through the image (22a) by an image detector (42) or the digital data of a radiographic image of the sample bone obtained by a radiographic image forming apparatus in a storage means, such as an image memory (56), and subjects the stored digital data to arithmetic operation to obtain bone-morphometric data. The morphometric bone assay system comprises the bone-morphometric apparatus (20) and a morphometric bone assay apparatus (351) for the morphometric bone assay of the sample bone, connected by communication means (350) to the bone-morphometric apparatus (20).
