Your bones are the foundation of your independence — protect them from fractures and maintain your active lifestyle with SimonMed’s new standard of care in bone health.
At SimonMed, we offer the most advanced imaging options at affordable, accessible centers.
Our compassionate, specialized providers are pioneering new ways to provide earlier and more accurate diagnoses through advanced imaging.
Our DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan, combined with Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), identifies osteoporosis risk early, allowing you to proactively protect your bones before problems arise.
Using FDA-approved AI software, our expert radiologists assess your bone density and your bone structure, providing a more complete picture of your fracture risk.
Knowing your risk early helps you take steps to keep bones strong and avoid life-changing fractures.
TBS seamlessly integrates with your standard DEXA scan, requiring no additional time or radiation exposure.
Starting around age 40, bone health naturally declines, increasing the risk of fractures, even during simple tasks. Standard DEXA scans measure bone density (quantity) but miss bone structure (quality) – people with similar bone density can have very different fracture risks.
A DEXA scan with TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) is an advanced screening designed to evaluate bone strength and fracture risk. While traditional bone density scans measure only bone mass, adding TBS reveals bone structure, helping identify up to 30% more patients at high risk of fracture.

“It is critical to know both density and structure to assess true bone health and prevent osteoporotic fractures, which is why we're establishing a new standard of care for our patients with DEXA + TBS.”

Bone health plays a key role in your overall wellness, particularly for women who face increased fracture risks with age. Explore additional SimonMed screenings designed to support women’s comprehensive health:
Traditional DEXA scans measure Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to assess osteoporosis risk, but BMD alone doesn’t reveal bone quality. TBS, combined with DEXA, uses AI to analyze bone structure, identifying weaknesses that BMD can’t see, thus providing a more comprehensive view of bone health without extra scan time or radiation.
During a DEXA scan with TBS, you’ll lie comfortably on a scanning table as the equipment measures both your bone density and analyzes your bone structure. This quick, painless, non-invasive procedure typically takes about 15 minutes and requires no additional radiation exposure beyond standard DEXA.
Medicare typically covers DEXA scans every two years for women over 65 and men over 70. However, medical experts recommend that screenings can begin earlier (starting around age 50) for anyone with conditions or lifestyles that increase osteoporosis risk, including:
Yes, but it’s minimal, much less than a standard X-ray. DEXA + TBS is non-invasive and FDA-approved.
Your healthcare provider typically receives the detailed results within 1-3 business days.
Most patients are screened every 1-2 years based on individual health and risk factors.
Yes, you will need a doctor’s order for a DEXA + TBS scan, even if you plan to pay out of pocket. We recommend downloading our informational guide and sharing it with your doctor to request an order.
DEXA + TBS is currently offered at nearly 100 SimonMed locations nationwide. Call 844-403-1715 to find a location near you.
