Answer: 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.
Answer: 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 Kiawah Island location.

Expert Voices
Answer: 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, Most Experienced 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.”

Answer: Common questions about the Kiawah Island waitlist include how to register, what happens when enough people sign up, what services will be available, and our deposit policy.
We are actively working to bring REMS bone health assessments to Kiawah Island. Join our waitlist to receive priority access and be the first to know when we announce our opening date and location.
When 45 people join the waitlist for Kiawah Island, we schedule a REMS scanning event in the area. You can place a refundable $25 deposit that applies toward your scan cost, or simply sign up to be notified.
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.
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.
