A Safer Way to Check Your Bone Health

At our center, we use R.E.M.S. (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) — a new, radiation-free technology that makes checking your bone health simple, safe, and stress-free.

What is R.E.M.S.?

R.E.M.S. uses a gentle ultrasound scan (similar to what’s used in pregnancy) to look at the strength of your bones in two key areas:

  • Spine (lumbar vertebrae)

  • Hip (femoral neck)

Unlike traditional bone scans (such as DXA), this method does not use X-rays or radiation, so it’s safe to repeat as often as needed.

How the EchoS Scan Works

Our EchoS device quickly scans your bones and creates a clear report within minutes. The results include:

  • Bone Mineral Density (BMD): shows how strong and dense your bones are.

  • T-Score & Z-Score: compare your bone health to healthy adults and people your own age.

  • Fragility Score: a unique measure of bone quality, not just density.

  • Fracture Risk: a personalized five-year estimate of your chance of a major or hip fracture.

Why It’s Different

Most bone tests only measure density. But bone health is about more than that — it’s also about quality and structure. The EchoS scan is one of the first tools that checks both, giving you and your healthcare provider a fuller picture of your bone health.
