REMS bone assessment is a screening tool for adults concerned about bone health and is not a replacement for diagnostic imaging ordered by a physician. Individuals currently under active treatment for osteoporosis should discuss REMS results with their treating physician. REMS results do not replace DEXA scans required for insurance-mandated treatment monitoring.
HSA/FSA accepted. No referral required.
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using zero-radiation ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using low-dose X-ray. REMS provides a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer, with same-day results at our Half Moon Bay location.

|---|---|---|
| Technology | Ultrasound (REMS) | X-ray (Dual-Energy) |
| Radiation | Zero | Low-dose ionizing |
| Measures Bone Density (BMD) |
Expert Voices
Leading orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, and bone health specialists worldwide recognize REMS Echolight as a transformative advancement in bone health assessment.
Dr. Kimberly Zambito, MD
Attending Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of Qualis Os, First US Physician to Introduce REMS
Newtown, PA
“REMS is 5 times more sensitive to BMD changes than DXA. The Fragility Score reflects the quality of bone — something DXA simply cannot measure.”
Dr. Doug Lucas, DO
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Osteoporosis Specialist
United States
“DEXA tells you the quantity of bone, but not the quality. I prefer REMS from Echolight to understand real fracture risk.”
Dr. Andy Bush, MD, FAAOS
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of BoneForte, Pioneering US REMS Provider
Sanford, NC
“What has been truly needed is a safe, radiation-free way to test bone strength and determine real fracture risk — this is exactly what REMS offers.”
Dr. Vonda Wright, MD
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Sports Surgeon, Author of "Unbreakable"
Orlando, FL
“I would like all postmenopausal women to get a DEXA scan or a REMS ultrasound and actually know the status of their bones.”
Dr. Yevgeniya Kushchayeva, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Endocrinology, University of South Florida / Tampa General Hospital
Tampa, FL
“Assessment of bone health is a multifaceted clinical process. REMS technology provides bone quality architecture data of direct value to clinicians planning treatment.”
Gary Rhodes, Founder of Screen My Bones®
Global Director at Performance Health Systems, Bone Health Technology Evangelist
Leeds, UK
“Osteoporosis is not a disease. It is a deconditioning of the bone — and like muscle, it can be reconditioned through proper intervention.”
Dr. Nick Birch, FRCS
Consultant Spinal Surgeon, Co-Founder of Osteoscan UK, Echolight Train-the-Trainers Accredited
Northamptonshire, UK
“Having conducted over 3,500 Echolight scans, I have seen firsthand how this groundbreaking technology is revolutionizing bone health.”

FAQ
Common questions about REMS bone health assessments at our Half Moon Bay location include appointment length (~20 minutes), insurance (HSA/FSA accepted), referral requirements (none needed), and what to wear (comfortable, loose-fitting clothing).
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared, radiation-free ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses no ionizing radiation and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results.
DEXA scans use X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses ultrasound, involves zero radiation exposure, and measures both BMD and bone quality — providing a more complete picture of bone health. REMS also calculates a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer.

Is This For You?
REMS bone health screening is designed for adults who want a complete picture of their skeletal health — not just a density number.
You haven’t been diagnosed with anything — and you’d like to keep it that way. Before menopause accelerates bone loss, establish your baseline with zero radiation. REMS gives you density + quality + fragility data in one 20-minute visit.

Data sourced from FDA 510(k) clearance documents and published clinical studies. REMS technology by Echolight S.p.A.
Your doctor recommended a DEXA, but you want more than a density number. REMS measures bone quality — the microarchitecture that determines whether bones bend or break. Track your HRT or supplement effectiveness every 6 months, safely.
You play tennis, golf, or pickleball. You feel strong. But bone loss is silent — 80% don’t know until a fracture. Pickleball players in their 60s face the highest fracture risk. A 20-minute REMS scan gives you the full picture.
Corticosteroids, aromatase inhibitors, PPIs, certain antidepressants — all quietly reduce bone density. REMS tracks changes with zero radiation, as often as your provider recommends.
Your DEXA gave you a T-score. But two people with the same T-score can have vastly different fracture risk. REMS adds a Fragility Score and bone quality assessment — the data DEXA cannot provide.
