When I was first diagnosed with severe OP, it was with a DXA only. I had trouble believing it because I am healthy and active. TBS was not offered and the technician had never heard of it.
I found a different place where I could have another DXA ( about 14 months later) and they also had the TBS add-on.
I desperately wanted the TBS to show that my bone quality was good, but alas, the second DXA showed even worse numbers and the TBS showed degraded bone.
After that, I made the decision to start Tymlos.

@jasperina I was extremely disappointed with my TBS score as well. Only osteopenia, but my bone quality is so bad no amount of exercise or dietary changes of even HRT is going to fix it. I'm going to choose an anabolic and hope and pray I can at least get into the "partially degraded " range.
