you can get a good description/explanation of the new Echolight technology/device that uses ultrasound rather than radiation (like the DEXA machines use) by typing (in a google search box)- will the new ultrasound device replace DEXA bone density testing Once there you can read an article from Apr 2021 by Dr. Susan E. Brown. might also find this article on her Website- betterbones.com

Thanks, I'm going to look into it. My doctors are all at the local Cleveland Clinic, and, as with Mayo and other top institutions, it tends to stay with state-of-the-art equipment.

This is ditto-ing mentors and others in these threads who lobby for people to try to get affiliated with a medical facility, associated with a medical school or otherwise with a 'depth on the bench team and research-commitment.

It was by sheer accident that I needed to find a new PCP last September. Called CC on Friday, had an appointment the following Monday with a doctor three friends now go to as well. From the time of the first call to annual routine mammo to Uh-Ohh bad news, biopsy and lumpectomy was less than 5 weeks. That was the only thing that was a great relief. If I'd had to interview a surgeons, Radiologists, oncologists, etc., this would have been a much harder path.
