REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared ultrasound that measures bone density and bone quality without radiation. DEXA uses low-dose X-ray and is the insurance standard. Here is how a Hallé Health visit in Jacksonville compares with other REMS clinics and a DEXA scan — including what is in the base assessment and what is an add-on.

Expert Voices
More physicians and researchers are choosing ultrasound REMS over DEXA. Here is what leading bone-health experts say about the technology behind your HALLĒ assessment in Jacksonville.
REMS is the first clinically available method for direct, non-ionizing measurement of lumbar and femoral BMD — an accurate diagnostic parameter and a predictor of incident clinical fracture risk.
ESCEO Expert Consensus, European Working Group
State-of-the-art consensus on REMS, Aging Clinical and Experimental Research (2019)
Europe
The current evidence base supports the use of REMS in osteoporosis management as a more widely accessible alternative to DXA for axial BMD measurement.

REMS in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis: state of the art

DEXA tells you the quantity of bone, but not the quality. I prefer REMS from Echolight to understand real fracture risk.
Dr. Doug Lucas, DO
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Osteoporosis Specialist

I would like all postmenopausal women to get a DEXA scan or a REMS ultrasound and actually know the status of their bones.

REMS is 5 times more sensitive to BMD changes than DXA. The Fragility Score reflects the quality of bone — something DXA simply cannot measure.

FAQ
Common questions about REMS bone health assessments at our Jacksonville 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, ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses ultrasound and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results.
DEXA scans use X-rays and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses ultrasound and measures both BMD and bone quality. REMS also reports a Fragility Score and a 5-year fracture risk estimate alongside the T-score.
No referral is required. You can book your REMS bone health assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
REMS assessments are not typically covered by traditional health insurance. However, you can use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds to pay for your assessment. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
The REMS bone health assessment itself takes approximately 20 minutes. Plan for about 30 minutes total to allow time for check-in and a brief overview of your results before you leave.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas. You do not need to undress — the ultrasound works through light clothing.
Adults over 40, post-menopausal women, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those taking medications that may affect bone density (corticosteroids, certain cancer treatments), and anyone proactive about their long-term skeletal health may benefit from a REMS assessment.
Yes. The REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) device by Echolight S.p.A. is FDA-cleared as a bone sonometer (product code MUA) under 510(k) K180516 (EchoS, 2018) and K202514 (EchoS Family, 2021).
No special preparation is required. You do not need to fast, avoid supplements, or change your medication schedule. Simply wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed through light fabric on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas.

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 by ultrasound. REMS gives you density + quality + fragility data in one 20-minute visit.
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.
Your mother or grandmother fractured a hip. Maternal hereditary risk roughly doubles your own fracture probability — and a baseline a decade before symptoms changes the whole intervention window. REMS gives that baseline ultrasound, repeatable every 6 months.
Corticosteroids, aromatase inhibitors, PPIs, certain antidepressants — all quietly reduce bone density. REMS tracks changes by ultrasound, 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 a bone quality assessment alongside that T-score.
Our Story
Jacksonville isn’t aging quietly — it’s about to age all at once.
The 65+ cohort here is currently around 11% of the population, well below Florida’s 21.75% state average, but the Florida Office of Economic & Demographic Research projects this group will double by 2035. Northeast Florida women are also living an average of 12 years longer than the previous generation, which means a decade more of bone load each one of them has to plan for.
The city has several DXA providers — UF Health, Mayo Clinic, Precision Imaging Centers — but every option is an X-ray method and most require a physician referral. For women who want a baseline scan they can repeat every six months, the ultrasound REMS pathway didn’t exist locally until HALLĒ arrived.
HALLĒ chose Jacksonville because the demographic wave is still building. Members who establish their bone-quality baseline now will have a 10-year trend line by the time the regional age curve peaks.

The Cypress Green Drive location sits in the Southside corridor — 20 minutes from Jacksonville Beach, 25 from downtown, free parking, ground-floor access. We hold Monday through Saturday hours because northeast Florida women are working, traveling, and caregiving on schedules that don’t fit a 9-to-5 clinical window.
Jacksonville covers 874 square miles — the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States — and 22 miles of Atlantic beachfront. Active members here are beach-running, paddleboarding, and pickleball-playing well into their 70s, which is exactly the cohort that benefits most from quality-not-just-density bone monitoring.
