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.

I haven't heard of that, @csday. Do you know if the results of the Sonogram conflict with the dexa scan results? The trabecular bone score (TBS) is supposed to give a more accurate reading as it focuses on bone quality, not quantity, but I don't know where that is available and would love to hear from anyone who had one.

I heard of the Echolight scan from Dr Susan Brown of Better Bones
I found a clinic in Asheville NC

My echolight scan was very close to my previous dexa It showed my bone strength as strong even though my density is at risk.

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