Echolight sonogram scan for bones

I, too, have been trying to find a facility in Florida. I live in Orlando.
I messaged Echolight (via "contact us" on their website) and they responded stating there is a facility in Tampa:
USF Health Informatics Institute.
The telephone number provided was a general USF Health phone number and the operator could not help me. I went to the USF Health Informatics Institute website and tried to contact a staff member by email. I have not received a response, and it has been over a week. I am convinced that my DEXA scores are either inaccurate or incomplete and would like a second/different test.

Hi Penny, I'm going to keep searching on the echolight, and ty for your information. I'm still at a loss as to why this disease seems/is neglected and under prioritised.
What I did find was a place for the added TBS:
Vero Beach Radiology Assoc.
Florida. 772-562-0163
I just spent about an hour on the phone with USF Health with no results.
The website for USF Osteoporosis program mentions the REMS technology, but when I spoke to the scheduler for that department, I was told that they do not have such a machine. The scheduler placed me on hold to check with radiology and was told they do not have the machine. Very curious and disappointing.
I do not drive long distances from Orlando (but could take a train to Tampa). Vero Beach is way too far for me to drive. Thanks for the information however.
Unfortunately, I was unable to post a link to the USF Osteoporosis program. FYI key words Diabetes and Endochronolgy; Calcium and Bone Disorders.

I feel the same way about my Dexascan scores and would love to try something new or updated. Let us know if you have any luck. I also live in Florida.
