Some people think in words.
Others think in pictures. Dr. Charles Y.C. Pak, director of the Robert T. Hayes Center for Mineral Metabolism Research, and his research team turned to Antich when they needed new and better ways to measure the effects of their slow-release fluoride treatment on the bones of osteoporosis study patients. We knew that fluoride helps make more bone. What we needed to know was how resilient or elastic the new bone is. We wanted to know whether the new bone being formed is just more weak bone or if it is strong, good bone.
