I am looking for the LSC you reference but cannot find anything on any of the 3 DEXA reports I have since 2022. The reports are Hologic. This 'normal variation' number would seem to be very helpful for many of us with small numerical changes.

That's a great point. LSC could be facility-specific and not always included on the patient's report. I'm scanned on a DXA machine located within the endocrinology clinic, and I usually ask the tech to print the full report - 8 pages with graphs. The version that appears in MyChart is typically much shorter.
