TBS in Oregon
Does anyone who lives in Oregon ( or even Washington) know of a facility that can do trabecular bone scans on existing DXAs? My endo has called around with no luck so far.

1 ReactionHi, Were you able to find a location for the trabecular bone scan? I am trying to find a place in Oregon or California.
No, I tried to contact every place on the list in Oregon and came up empty. Some of the businesses were no longer there. I called all the ones I could and none of the staff had heard of a trabecular bone scan. They said they only offer DXA. I didn’t try California too hard because it would be a long drive. My endocrinologist in Corvallis has also looked for a place that offers the TBS, and he has not had any luck either.
It was very frustrating.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Yes, it is very frustrating. I might have found one place in Southern California. Stark Health. I spoke with them and am trying to make an appointment.
I found something that said OHSU but I did not call them.
I wish you the best of luck trying to find it. If I find anything in Oregon I will respond back.
I was just going to mention trying OHSU in Oregon.

1 ReactionThank you very much. Best of luck to you. I think the company that makes this needs to do more outreach about it.
Yes Chris, I did call them and they did not have this software tool. But thanks!

1 ReactionPlease check with Salem Radiology Consultants in Salem Oregon. I had my DEXA in September 2024 and found out that their new machine includes the TBS software. I requested and received that information along with the usual workup. The technician said they decided to buy the software, as a number of doctors had requested it.
