REMS Bone Health Scan – Radiation-Free Technology in California
At our center, we use R.E.M.S. (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) — a cutting-edge, ultrasound-based technology for assessing bone health safely, quickly, and comfortably. Unlike traditional bone scans like DXA, REMS does not use radiation, making it safe to repeat as often as needed.
Why REMS is Unique:
REMS is still extremely rare in the United States — there are only four machines nationwide, and our center is the only one in California. This makes it a unique opportunity for those seeking advanced bone health evaluation.
Who Can Benefit:
Women are particularly encouraged to consider REMS scans, especially post-menopause, when bone density naturally declines. REMS provides a comprehensive view of bone strength and quality, giving valuable information for proactive wellness decisions.
How REMS Works:
REMS uses a gentle ultrasound to assess:
Spine (lumbar vertebrae)
Hip (femoral neck
It measures:
Bone Mineral Density (BMD): shows bone strength and density
T-Score & Z-Score: compare your bones to healthy adults and peers
Fragility Score: evaluates bone quality, not just density
Fracture Risk: a personalized estimate of 5-year risk for major or hip fractures
Unlike most scans that only measure density, REMS evaluates both bone structure and quality, offering a more complete picture of bone health.
Benefits of REMS Bone Scan:
Radiation-free and safe — no X-rays involved
Fast results — scans are completed in minutes
Comfortable and painless — a quick ultrasound session
Accurate — compared with a database of over 100,000 patients
Preventive insights — early detection helps guide wellness and protective strategies.
