Major Advance In Bone Densitometry
On November 11, 2013, we installed a new recently FDA approved software to our bone density machines which produces a report known as Trabecular Bone Score (TBS). TBS creates a textured image from the spine DXA image. It involves NO added radiation for you but analyzes the spine DXA image in a different way to enable us to better define your fracture risk.

Detection of Vertebral Fractures
Despite the importance of vertebral compression fractures, there is much that remains uncertain. There is no “gold standard” for the definition which has led to epidemiologic and study differences. Height loss is a way to suspect vertebral fractures but it has its own issues.There are multiple radiographic systems for defining vertebral fractures, both prevalent and incident; risk factors for prevalent fractures have already been delineated. Recent studies have elucidated the risk factors for incident vertebral fractures including age, low weight, late menarche, lower bone mineral density, history of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures, smoking, and use of a walking aid.
