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

Be the first to book when we set a scan date in Miami. Joining the waitlist is free.
When 45 people join, we schedule a REMS scanning event in Miami.
About This Location
Miami is one of our two air hubs. Miami International (MIA) has direct flights from across the Americas, so this list is also for people who would plan a trip around a scan day.
Locally the list covers Miami-Dade, from Coral Gables and Coconut Grove to Key Biscayne and Aventura. HALLĒ Palm Beach Gardens is the nearest open location if you would rather book now.
A REMS assessment is an ultrasound scan of the hip and lumbar spine. It reports bone density, bone quality and fracture risk, without radiation.

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 Miami 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 Miami.

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

With REMS technology, individuals can get an accurate picture of their bone strength, their true bone density, and their real risk of fracture.

Assessment of bone health is a multifaceted clinical process. REMS technology provides bone quality architecture data of direct value to clinicians planning treatment.

Osteoporosis is not a disease. It is a deconditioning of the bone — and like muscle, it can be reconditioned through proper intervention.

FAQ
Common questions about the Miami waitlist include how to register, what happens when enough people sign up, what services will be available, and our deposit policy.
Yes. Use the phone number and email you check most often. Invitations go out by email; texts only if you agree to them separately.
HALLĒ Palm Beach Gardens is open and takes bookings now.
No. Joining the waitlist is free. No card is taken when you sign up.
When the Miami list reaches about 45 people, we set a scan date and invite everyone on it by email, and by text message only if you separately agreed to texts. Invitations go out to the whole list at once.
Booking a time slot takes a $50 deposit, credited toward your scan. It is refunded in full if you cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead, and automatically if HALLĒ cancels the event. A no-show or a cancellation inside 48 hours forfeits it.
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.
HALLĒ offers ultrasound bone health assessments across Florida and California.

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.
