@gigi4 Just so you know there is also a DEXA scan with TBS Why doctors don'tsuggest this...the TBS is the fragility score!!!! There is no more radiation but needs to be done on a newer machine. I guess they want to pay for all the older machines!!! (so they do not suggest the newer machines)...NOTE: I live in Boston Ma. You would think with all these great hospitals and universities here there would be several of these newer machines. NOPE.
there is ONE at the Brigham on longwood ave and the WL is about 6 months...I guess there are a few people in the know. I talked my endocranologist in getting me to do this dexa after 6 months of my last dexa and my 2 compression fractures because I want to start and stay on this new machine for all my dexa scans.
