Hello @njx58,
I'd like to invite @kirstenlheld, @csday, @robinturkell and @katgob to this discussion as they have either had an echolight scan or have shown interest in learning about your echolight experience.
@njx58, with your next DEXA scan upcoming, are you planning on presenting the Echolight numbers to your provider as well, or will someone else do the comparison for you?

My experience with the Echolight Scan was, so far, a one time experience. What I have been told is that it is another tool like the Dexa scan to track your progress, and that you can't really compare the two exactly because they are different technologies. I may have another Echolight scan done sometime in the next year to see if it shows the same positive trajectory that my Dexa scan has.

I actually sent him the report, and he was impressed by the gains... but we are both thinking "how accurate is this?" Could my L4 BMD, for example, really jump from .71 to .95 after just eight months on Tymlos? That's 33 percent. It seems unlikely. But maybe the DEXA wasn't accurate?
This is the problem with scans. You can't trust the results 100 percent.
My DEXA is early January, so that's close enough in time for a comparison.
