A stained-glass artist with longstanding exposure to lead presented with neuropsychiatric symptoms. He was evaluated before and after chelation treatment by the CaNa2EDTA lead mobilization test, iliac crest bone lead measurement, andin vivotibial X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The three methods showed a progressive fall in body lead stores during chelation therapy in association with improvement in symptoms and a fall in blood lead and zinc protoporphyrin levels.In vivotibial XRF is a safe, rapid, and noninvasive technique for detecting excessive body lead burdens. XRF measurement of bone lead content is a practical method for monitoring the efficacy of therapy as well as for establishing the diagnosis.
