Bone density test other than DEXA

Indeed. It's called an Echolight Scan. I had it done at the location in Asheville. It shows me to be in better shape than the Dexa did and it also shows my bone strength to be really good, which was very reassuring. The guy who owns the location was really wonderful as well. I think the name of the business is Strength X, but don't quote me on that. It cost me $200 and I had it done in October, 2022.

Can you share the name of the place or phone number so we can get in touch with them?

Thank you so much! I remembered roughly what and where, but internet search of “bone scan other than DEXA” produced nothing. 18 months ago I was borderline between osteopenia and osteoperosis in right hip. With AI and Zometa things probably did not improve. However, being quite active for my 73 years (I just came back inside after re-installing some brick edging that my handy guy put down lopsided, and then level the area and carefully - by the handful - fill in and smoothe out with 4 bags of mulch that I lugged around. After a brisk 2 mile walk earlier in the morning.) So I’m hoping the Echolight Scan can give me some assurance that the situation is not as bad as the standard test suggests.
