TBS iNsight™ is new bone structure assessment technique that enhances identification of fracture risk.

TBS iNsight™ software installs on existing DXA scanners. It is a simple, rapid and reproducible method that seamlessly integrates into your workflow and estimates fracture risk based on determination of bone texture. The result is expressed as a Trabecular Bone Score.

Using AP spine data obtained during routine DXA exams, TBS iNsight™ produces a clinically significant1,2 fracture risk parameter. The result derives from a patented algorithm that evaluates pixel gray-level and spatial variations in the DXA scan, providing an indirect, yet highly correlated, index of bone microarchitecture that is independent of bone mineral density (BMD), clinical risk factors and FRAX®.

We also offer ‘FRAX Adjusted for TBS’, which is a FRAX® 10-year probability of fracture based on clinical risk factors, BMD, and TBS™. This feature was built based on a prospective study of more than 30,000 patients and cross-validated using meta-analysis of 17,800 women and men across 14 countries3,4
