SimonMed Imaging Center just called me: they gave me the wrong information.🥹
I’m going there this afternoon to redo the imaging. Too good to be true was correct. Hope they don’t mess up this time. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist tomorrow morning to decide follow up treatment.

Apologies for the typo - I meant to write "GE machine", not "GR machine" in my last post. Sorry for any confusion.

Improvement in your T score is definitely possible. The highest improvement I've seen mentioned on this forum was around 30% with evenity. It's just that the percentage improvement is calculated based on BMD (g/cm^2), not the T score. For most of us who have osteoporosis or osteopenia, BMD is a number between 0.400 - 0.999 (g/cm^2).

For example, my femoral neck T score improved from -2.4 to -2.0, BMD from 0.587 to 0.624 (g/cm^2): this is a 6.3% improvement. However, if we use T score, that's a 16.6% improvement (which is not correct).
