What Is a REMS Bone Scan?

A REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) bone scan is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based test that evaluates bone health at the lumbar spine and hip.

Unlike traditional imaging that focuses only on bone mineral density, REMS also evaluates bone quality, offering additional insight into bone strength — without ionizing radiation.

REMS is safe, comfortable, and provides immediate results that can be shared with your healthcare provider.

How a REMS Scan Works

Your scan in three simple steps

Schedule your appointment

Book online at a time that works for you — no referral required.

Complete your scan

The scan is quick and comfortable, similar to a standard ultrasound. No injections, no radiation, and no special preparation.

Review your results

You’ll receive a clear, detailed report immediately, which you can review and share with your physician or provider.

Why Bone Quality Matters

Bone health is more than a single number — and it matters at every stage of life.

While bone density is important, bone quality reflects the internal structure and strength of bone tissue and plays a major role in fracture risk. Two people can have the same bone density — and very different bone strength.

In fact, up to 1 in 2 women over age 50 will experience a fracture related to bone loss, and many don’t realize their bones are weakening until that first fracture occurs.

The good news is that early awareness and prevention are key. Bone health is built — and preserved — over time. Understanding both bone density and bone quality earlier allows women to make informed decisions that support strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.

Traditional scans like DEXA focus primarily on bone mineral density. REMS adds insight into bone quality — how well bones withstand stress — providing a more complete picture of bone health in one fast, radiation-free appointment.

REMS vs. DEXA: What’s the Difference?

REMS (EchoLight®)

  • Ultrasound-based (no radiation)

  • Evaluates spine and hip

  • Measures bone density and bone quality

  • Not affected by some common imaging artifacts

  • Safe for repeat monitoring

DEXA

  • Uses low-dose X-ray radiation

  • Measures bone density

  • Limited insight into bone quality

  • Results may be affected by arthritis, hardware, or positioning

REMS and DEXA can be complementary — REMS adds valuable context beyond density alone.
