Echolight sonogram scan for bones

I had a Echolight (REMS) procedure performed. I was quite surprised at the results. My DEXA scan in April/22, showed my spine overall score was -2.8, my hips were -2.1 and -2.3.

The Echolight was done twice and the results were averaged. My spine overall spine was -2.2, with a fragility in the average bone category, meaning less chance of fracture. My hips were a surprise with the first scan reading -2.8 and the second reading -2.9 (for both hips). And the fragility score was slightly less than average with a slight risk of fracture. The scores seem to be reversed from my DEXA scan. Although, my DEXA did not have the TBS software to calculate strength as the Echolight did. I will have a consult with the dr. in 2 weeks to go over my results and what they mean for me.

Can you please tell me where you had the Echolight (Rems) performed.

Maybe the TBS is the same thing as Bone Score?

Good that you were able to get that done, @cat22. Please post when you know what your results mean.

Why was the echo done twice.?Which one is correct? Echo or DEXA?
