Dual Photon Absorptiometry: Validation of Mineral and Fat Measurements [PDF]
, 1990 Photons passing through human tissue undergo attenuation in relation to the specific chemical substances with which they interact. Soft tissues, consisting largely of water and organic compounds, reduce photon flux to a lesser extent than bone mineral, which contains the intermediate-Z element calcium.

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 1992 Abstract Although single-photon absorptiometry (SPA) has been the predominant tool used to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in the forearm, the development of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) provides the benefits of greater source stability, reduced scanning time, and improved image resolution compared to SPA.
