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

I had two scans done at the Osteo Strong and the numbers were the same seven months apart. My daughter had a DEXA and immediately after had the REM Osteo strong and the numbers were exactly the same as her dexa My REM scan numbers were slightly better than my DEXA. New research shows that the REM is more accurate. I’m hoping that is true.

Correct. Which I was excited to get one.

But someone else on this site went to get one at a different Osteostrong and the REMS said she didn’t have osteoporosis at all but her dexa showed her having extreme osteoporosis.

So, I’m thinking the technicians or machines are varying by location.
Because her reading obviously wasn’t accurate.

She also said they shoved the probe up under her rib cage and hurt her. Which I have never heard before.

Just makes me worry about the quality control of these tests and if not all the technicians are trained properly.

I wonder why the mainstream health clinics aren’t using these if they are superior?

I am still considering getting one done. I just wish I could get it somewhere besides osteostrong
