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 The Villages location.

|---|---|---|
| Technology | Ultrasound (REMS) | X-ray (Dual-Energy) |
| Radiation | Zero | Low-dose ionizing |
| Measures Bone Density (BMD) |
Expert Voices
More physicians and researchers are choosing radiation-free REMS over DEXA. Here is what leading bone-health experts say about the technology behind your HALLĒ assessment in The Villages.
REMS… does not expose patients to ionizing radiation. It accurately predicts bone density, and additionally, predicts bone strength.

FAQ
Common questions about REMS bone health assessments at our The Villages 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.
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 under 510(k) clearance number K212851. It is classified as a diagnostic ultrasound system for bone density assessment and is approved for clinical use in the United States.
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.
Our location is at 13721 US-441 Unit 2, Lady Lake, FL 32159 — conveniently located near The Villages and accessible from Ocala, Leesburg, and surrounding communities.
Our The Villages location is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We are closed on weekends. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.

HALLĒ is a wellness screening service and does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice. Results are intended for informational purposes and should be reviewed with your healthcare provider.
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.
Our Story
The Villages isn’t a retirement community. It’s a city-scale experiment in what active life past 70 actually looks like.
With approximately 145,000 residents, a median age of 74.1, and 84.7% of residents aged 65 or older, The Villages is the largest active-adult community in the United States, per U.S. Census and community data. This is the highest concentration of bone-fracture-risk demographics in any U.S. ZIP cluster.
Lake Medical Imaging and surrounding DXA providers cover the area, but the cumulative radiation question matters more here than anywhere else: a 74-year-old member who scans every 12-24 months for the next decade is accumulating dose that a younger demographic could absorb without consideration. Radiation-free REMS removes that ceiling and allows the every-6-month tracking cadence the population actually needs.
HALLĒ chose Lady Lake — at the northern entrance to The Villages on US-441 — because this is where the demographic concentration peaks and where the bone-quality conversation matters most.

George completed specialized REMS Echolight training and international certification through Screen My Bones in England. Together with his wife, Dr. Krystyna Shepetiuk (PharmD, CDCES, IFM), he was the first specialist in Florida to make REMS bone health assessments accessible to the general public through HALLĒ.

Quotes reflect each expert’s independent, publicly stated views on REMS technology and do not imply endorsement of HALLĒ. Each quote links to its original public source.
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 radiation-free, repeatable every 6 months.
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.
The Villages operates more than 75,000 golf carts on its multimodal path network. A peer-reviewed analysis of 2011-2019 data documented an average of 136 golf-cart crashes, 65 hospitalizations, and 9 deaths or permanent disabilities annually, with 48% of all crashes resulting in hospitalization, severe trauma, or death. Cart ejections and falls from carts are now a leading mechanism of hip and wrist fracture in the community — which is precisely why bone quality, not just density, is what determines whether a member walks away from a 10-mph fall.
