Did you go to the place in Blackfoot? I contacted them to ask some questions but haven’t booked anything yet. I was surprised that you can self-refer - no need for a doctor’s referral.

I went to the Clinic in Blackfoot, Calgary -- Wosler Diagnostic. I found the service seamless - no referral required, got in right away and $150.00 full cost. My REMS results were similar to my DEXA 6 months ago -- total hip DEXA -2.0, total hip REMS -2.1, spine DEXA -3.5, REMS -3.0. The most valuable information for me was the fragility score and fracture risk which showed good bone quality still on the border of low fracture risk. The DEXA can't assess bone quality without the TBS.

yes, 8500 Blackfoot Trail, Wosler Diagnostics. $150 . ($185 Vancouver, but drive not flight...I found it too late, but next time!) You can also pay for Dexa at couple of clinics in Vancouver but the one I had my first scan with, would only take referral from doctor
