YOU KNOW ABOUT DXA...

A DXA scan is the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis
and your risk of breaking bones. DXA gives you a T-score
that measures your bone mineral density, or bone quantity.

...BUT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT TBS?

New technology called Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) takes a closer look at the DXA scan. By analyzing the structure of your spine bones, TBS measures your bone quality.

By knowing your bone quality as well as your bone quantity, your health care provider can help you make better decisions for your bone health.
