Yes. I got both hips and lumbar spine scanned. I have put my scores in my bio, if you want to click my username. This was my 4th scan since 2006. Unfortunately No doctor ever told me we should get our scan done on the same machine each time for an accurate comparison....I found out through my osteoporosis research and came across that. To make the comparison even worse than not being on the same machine, my scans were also on a variety of *brand* machines. Hologic has a different report format than GE does, for example....two of the common brands...the Hologic reports are much clearer to understand., IMHO. If I ever get another scan again I'll be sure to get one on a machine that has a Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) application on it, which I learned about after doing the scan. A TBS score apparently gives additional info about the bones....more about the structure that's not strictly the bone density, if I'm using Sara Meeks' (physical therapist) terminology right. She does seminars and has videos on YouTube, etc., and seems quite renown. Hopefully Echolight or some other non-radiation method will come to San Diego soon....another option instead of dexa. So much to learn.....
