Abstract
A compact peripheral densitometer allows multi-use imaging of the foot and arm by means by simple rotation of the entire unit to be supported on different portions of its base at either of two angles. A slot in the unit may thus open upward for foot imaging when the unit is placed on the ground or open sideways for arm imaging with the unit resting on a table or the like.
