Women First is excited to offer Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) technology, a new way to understand bone health during bone density scans. This innovative tool works alongside our traditional DEXA scans to give you and your doctor a complete picture of your bone strength.
Why Bone Health Matters
As we age, bone health becomes increasingly important, especially for women. During menopause, hormonal changes can cause bones to become weaker, which increases the risk of conditions like osteoporosis. Understanding and protecting your bone health can help prevent serious issues like fractures.
What is the Trabecular Bone Score (TBS)?
Think of TBS as an advanced bone checkup. While a traditional DEXA scan measures how dense your bones are, TBS goes a step further by examining the internal structure of your bones. It’s like looking inside your bones to see their strength. By combining these two tests, we can better understand your bone health and create more personalized care plans.
Why Get a Bone Density Test?
A bone density test is like a health report card for your bones. It helps us detect early signs of bone loss before serious problems develop. Our new TBS technology can provide an even more detailed assessment of your bone health.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you’re scheduled for a DEXA scan, you’ll automatically receive a TBS analysis. This means you’ll get a more thorough evaluation of your bone health, designed specifically for a woman’s needs.
