cannot compare to past results because of machine?
I had have had 5 scans in the past 13 years. The last one was a week ago. All the previous reports had comparisons to the one before it. Last week's did not have a comparison. It said:
"Please note that no comparison is made to prior BMDs which were done on the Radiology densitometer, because formal comparisons cannot be done across different machines. If it is clinically important to know if there has been a significant change in bone density compared with prior measurements, patient can schedule a follow-up BMD in Radiology. From now on though, patient may follow BMD measurements on our Boston since we now have a new baseline on our Boston densitometer."
My previous scans say there were done on a GE Lunar Prodigy Advance machine. It seems like this would be a problem since I have been taking fosamax and want to see if it is helping. Am I missing something? PS: Have an appt with my endocrinologist is a couple of weeks and will check with her, too.
