This is Session 3 of the SMART for TEAM series, presented by the National Spine Health Foundation — described on the call as the preeminent patient-advocacy organisation in spinal healthcare — in collaboration with its medical and scientific board.
One moment from the panel discussion is worth calling out directly: a presenter speaking from clinical experience with Trabecular Bone Score notes that some of their scanners have TBS capability and some don't — and that, in their own words, "I just don't refer to the ones that do not have TBS," because it's information they've come to rely on.
The panelist goes on to describe TBS as a genuinely effective tool for patient communication — helping patients who've already heard about their bone density and T-score understand, in practical terms, why treatment is being recommended.
