No. TBS is a software upgrade that runs seamlessly on your existing DEXA+ system.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) has long been the standard for assessing osteoporosis risk. But BMD alone does not tell the full story. Two patients can have the same density yet very different fracture risks. This is where Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) comes in.
TBS is an advanced software upgrade for your DEXA+ system that analyzes the micro-architecture of bone tissue. By evaluating bone texture, TBS adds an additional, independent risk factor to your diagnostic workflow. The result: more precise patient assessments and stronger confidence in treatment planning.
TBS complements BMD by providing insight into bone quality, not just quantity. This helps identify patients who may be at higher fracture risk despite having “normal” or “osteopenic” density scores.
TBS is FDA-cleared and widely validated in peer-reviewed research. It has been shown to improve fracture risk prediction when combined with FRAX and BMD, offering a more comprehensive view of skeletal health.
Available as an add-on software module, TBS integrates directly into your existing DEXA+ workstation. No new hardware is required. Training is minimal, and reports are automatically included in your standard output.
Primary Care & Endocrinology: Identify hidden risks in postmenopausal women and older men.
