I had 3 Bone density scans done in last 6 years, and the last one which was on Friday came back showing:
Left proximal femur, the lowest score is obtained in the femoral neck. The BMD of this region is 1.134 gm/cm2 with a T-score of 1.3.Between examiniations, there has been a significant increase in the total hip BMD (.0.019 gm/cm2)
Then it says: Based on the lowest T-score, the diagnostic category if : Normal (T-score >-2.5).
Conclusion: 37 yr old female with a bone density just above the osteopenic range. Treatment with calcium supplements aqnd Vit D is recommend. The bone mineral density has increased in the left hip region since previous study. A floow up BMD stduy should be performed.
So having said all of that, is there anyone out there that can relate?? Or offer any info about this? I knew I was in a category for Osteopenia, but why does it say Normal (T-score >-2.5)...I thought anything that was negative and greater than 1 was not good...
Any help please...
Thanks
