Has anyone had a rems bone scan or tbs bone scan?

Hi zaa, I was able to get a REMS scan at Osteostrong Edina, and found it helpful, but neither of my docs is at all interested. It showed a better spine score and slightly worse hip, but the fracture risk was dramatically less than through REMS. Glad I did this!

@mlw1 - I had similar results. Better spine, worse hip. But happy with the bone strength report from REMS. I noticed that my DEXA of 11/23 Report noted the use of a new machine, yet they still compared my scores to the previous DEXA. This numbers game has me so confused. I’m waiting for a better way to determine fracture risk. More studies are needed.
