Troubling difference between DEXA scan and Echolight

As I mentioned earlier in this forum, I too had a large difference in my REMS (2025) and DEXA (2024) scan. For my spine T was - 3,0 in Dexa and - 1,4 in REMS. I have done REMS for the first time and it was in Italy, a country that introduced REMS by an experienced endocrinologist . DEXA was made in Spain by technician, and I have doubts in this result. I have also posted the page from McCormick book where he explained what kind of mistakes can technicians make while doing DEXA. All depends on the trust to professional who is doing the test.

I too would feel more confident had the REMS been done by an Endocrinologist but that doesn't seem to be an option where I am. I believe the 5 DEXA scans done in sequential years at a major hospital by different technicians and showing similar results might be more believable. We'll see what the November scan shows.
