Dr. Nick Birch, an orthopedic spine surgeon with over 35 years of expertise, dives into the limitations of the T-score in predicting fracture risk. He introduces REMS imaging, emphasizing its ability to measure bone toughness and provide a more accurate fragility score. Their discussion highlights how relying solely on T-scores can lead to unnecessary fear and misdiagnosis, impacting quality of life. Birch also addresses the promising trajectory for REMS adoption, its clinical value, and encourages a proactive approach to bone health for patients.

In this video Dr. Doug interviews Ludovic Humbert, co-founder and chief science officer of 3D Shaper, to unpack how this new imaging software turns a standard 2D DEXA hip scan into a 3D analysis of cortical and trabecular bone. They explore how it compares to DEXA, REMS, and CT, why it may improve fracture risk prediction, and how it could guide more personalized treatment decisions. They also discuss FDA clearance, clinical adoption, and future possibilities like strength modeling and spine analysis. *3D Shaper Medical*Website: https://www.3d-shaper.com/*Body Analytics*Website: https://bodyanalytics.fit/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/knowyourbodyownyourhealthYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bodyanalytics8964Phone: 314-471-5373🦴 *Stronger Bones.
