Hi, @geedle12 When I said "I'll be sure to make my next DXA scan a DXA-TBS," the term "DXA-TBS" was just my shorthand term for "a DXA scan with a setting to also figure a Trabecular Bone Score (TBS)." I used that term "DXA-TBS" a day or two ago, when I thought that, in order to figure a TBS score, we had to ask for the TBS score to be set *during the DXA scan session," but now I'm getting the opposite info! It was American Bone Health organization who told me that I can't give my DXA scan to a facility who has TBS equipment and ask them to analyze it to figure out a TBS score *after the fact* (meaning months after my DXA was already performed). But Dr Keith McCormick seems to be telling me the opposite; he seems to be saying that I CAN in fact send my May 2022 DXA scan to a facility who has TBS software, and have them determine the score from my May 2022 DXA scan. I'm not clear yet if the facility has to be the same exact facility who did my DXA; I don't see why it would have to be, but who knows. I'll get to the bottom of this eventually!!! Sorry if I'm confusing you even more at this point. I tend to get thick into the weeds on everything.
