Radiation-free REMS bone density scanning — ultrasound instead of X-rays, measuring bone quality as well as bone density.
REMS — Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry — is an advanced, radiation-free bone density assessment that uses ultrasound rather than X-rays. Unlike traditional DEXA scans, REMS delivers valuable insight into bone health with no radiation exposure.

About REMS
REMS — Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry — is an advanced, radiation-free bone density assessment that uses ultrasound rather than X‑rays. Unlike traditional DEXA scans, REMS delivers valuable insight into bone health with no radiation exposure.
REMS produces a fracture-risk estimate from a single quick, comfortable, non-invasive scan.
Beyond density alone, REMS evaluates bone quality — a fuller picture of your bone health to discuss with your physician.
EchoLight REMS technology produces your readings while you are there, so you can act on them sooner.
The Fragility Score reflects bone quality — structural information a density reading on its own does not capture — alongside your BMD and T‑score.
A side-by-side look at what sets REMS apart.
| Feature | REMS | DEXA |
|---|---|---|
| Radiation exposure | None — uses ultrasound | Yes — uses X‑rays |
| What it measures | Bone quality + quantity | Bone quantity (density) |
| Basis for fracture-risk assessment | Density plus a bone-quality measure | Density (T‑score) |
| Speed & comfort | Fast, non-invasive | Standard imaging visit |
| Results review | Reviewed on-site by physician | Typically follow-up report |
