Once our waitlist reaches the goal, we schedule a REMS scanning event within 4-6 weeks. Waitlist members are notified first and receive priority booking.
Services & Pricing
Answer: When New Orleans launches, REMS bone health assessments will start at $325. Additional services include body composition analysis, wellness education consultations, and personalized wellness plans. All services include same-day results and are HSA/FSA eligible.
Radiation-free ultrasound-based bone density and quality assessment with same-day results, T-score, fragility score, and 5-year fracture risk evaluation.
Advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis measuring muscle mass, body fat distribution, cellular hydration, and sarcopenia risk indicators.
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.
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. When REMS arrives in New Orleans, LA, residents will have access to Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer — with same-day results.
| Parameter | REMS | DEXA |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Ultrasound (REMS) | X-ray (Dual-Energy) |
| Radiation | Zero | Low-dose ionizing |
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.”

FAQ
Answer: Common questions about the upcoming REMS bone health assessment in New Orleans, LA include how to join the waitlist, what REMS technology is, how it compares to DEXA, pricing, HSA/FSA eligibility, and who should consider a bone health screening.
We organize REMS Echolight bone health assessment events in New Orleans, LA once 45 people join the waitlist. Join now to help bring radiation-free bone density and bone quality scans to your area sooner.
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.
We are actively working to bring REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) bone health assessments to New Orleans, LA.

DEXA scans, commonly available in New Orleans, LA, use low-dose X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses zero-radiation ultrasound and measures both BMD and bone microarchitecture quality — providing a more complete picture of your bone health. REMS also provides a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer, with same-day results.
No referral is required to receive a REMS bone health assessment in New Orleans, LA. Once our New Orleans location launches, you can book your assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
