REMS vs DEXA — How Do They Compare?
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using X-ray. REMS reports a Fragility Score and a 5-year fracture risk estimate alongside the T-score, with same-day results at our Santa Barbara location.

Expert Voices
What Clinicians Say About REMS
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 Santa Barbara.
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. Kimberly Zambito, MD
Attending Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of Qualis Os, First US Physician to Introduce REMS
Newtown, PA
With REMS technology, individuals can get an accurate picture of their bone strength, their true bone density, and their real risk of fracture.
Dr. Andy Bush, MD, FAAOS
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of BoneForte, Pioneering US REMS Provider
Sanford, NC
Assessment of bone health is a multifaceted clinical process. REMS technology provides bone quality architecture data of direct value to clinicians planning treatment.

The REMS scan revealed early bone quality concerns that my DEXA missed. Dr. Shepetiuk explained everything clearly and created a plan I can actually follow. The whole process took 20 minutes.

I was nervous about radiation from a traditional bone scan. Finding out REMS uses zero radiation was a game-changer. The staff were incredibly kind and my results were ready before I left.

As a 55-year-old man, I never thought bone health applied to me. The fragility score opened my eyes. Highly recommend this for anyone over 40.

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.
