In this episode, we dive into the Trabecular Bone Score, a groundbreaking imaging tool redefining how we assess skeletal health. While traditional bone density scans only measure mineral quantity, this technology evaluates the internal microarchitecture of the lumbar spine. We explore why many patients suffer fractures despite normal density scores, and how this tool bridges diagnostic gaps for individuals with diabetes or on glucocorticoids, ultimately offering a more precise look at true bone quality.
