How did you calculate the improvement percentage? I didn’t seem able to get your numbers.
I’m completing my Evenity injection next week and my
dexa results between 6/2024 and 7/2025:
Left Neck: -3.9 to -3.1 +20.5%
Left Femur Total: -3.5 to -3.0 +14.3%
L1-L4: -3.8 to -2.3 +39.5%
No right hip was tested as the test center said they only do noncomitant hip 🥹
Are the new test results possible? Seems too good improvement to be true. I did the tests at two different locations because the recent test at SimonMed Imaging reports TBS.

Wonderful results @yingjichi, congratulations!
The percentage improvement is calculated using BMD (g/cm^2), not T scores.
If 2 different machines are used, just make a note of machine type. In general, GR machines tend to read about 11% higher than Hologic ones. There are online tools to help adjust for that so the calculation won't be skewed by the machine types.
What's your TBS score from the new scan? Thanks
