@awfultruth,
I'm pretty excited, not just for the many that already have metal implants that make dexa useless, not even for the small boned who may be taking medications that are harmful, that they don't even need, and not just for those with cortical loss who are missed because dexa best measures trabecular bone.
I'm excited by the policy-recognition that that bone density is not THE measure of bone strength. Ignoring that known fact, even clinical trial rules have shortened the (I would argue needed) research process by making increased BMD the targeted approval point for osteoporosis drugs.
Biomedical CT may become another patient driven change. I messaged the endocrinologist I see as soon a I read the article that petite, smart, female linked. I'd like to skip the annual dexa and have a biomedical CT.
