I will have to pursue further but wanted to get this link out before I lose it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Thank you! Does this appear to be most helpful for monitoring those who have not yet been diagnosed with osteoporosis? Is this different than DEXA scans in that it measures quality vs qualtity?

It seems that this measures strength in the tibia with results correlated with those of cadavers.

Interesting; we sure need better information about diagnosis, treatments for bonehealth/osteoporosis. I see it is extremely limited locations; however, Mayo Clinic (Minnesota only from what I can tell) has it which in my mind sure makes it legit!
