Though I have quite a story to tell you how I actually found a very local place (45 minutes or so from my home) that had a machine to perform the DEXA with the TBS , and the technician didn’t even know that they had it till I showed unannounced up to really inquire about that as I couldn’t reach them by phone. In talking to her she realized that the day before a DEXA Report came out looking very different and realized it was a DEXA with a TBS. On the spot we made a plan as to a day to return to have my pictures taken . I returned 3 weeks later and she did a most beautiful job of positioning me and taking the picture that I had ever experienced. She gave me 2 copies of the report on the spot , one for me and one to send to Dr, McCormick, as I wanted to have that extra info when I consulted with him. Just felt like I should let all know there are good experiences and professionals out there that will work with you. But sometimes it does seem far and few between. Most likely due to their lack of understanding, training ,etc. Good luck to you all attempting to secure a DEXA w / TBS!!!

Searching for a location with TBS capabilities, I found that Medimaps Group, the manufacturer of TBS iNsight™ (Osteo) makes available lists of centers by state which use their TBS software. That's how I found the one where I"ll be getting my next scan. I know that it's important to get every scan at the same location for the most accurate comparative purposes, but because my clinic doesn't have TBS, I've decided to change over to a center that does. Even though I knew they use TBS, when I scheduled the scan, I asked them to verify it. The scheduler had no idea what I was talking about. I had to spell out the full name for her. After asking the head of radiology about it, she learned and confirmed that they do indeed use TBS.
