Echolight Ultrasound

Bone Density Assessments!

Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry ( REMS ) is a quick, FDA-cleared,

Radiation-Free screening that assesses bone density to evaluate bone strength and fracture risk.

REMS Assessment - Standard

$225 REMS Echolight Ultrasound includes one hip & lumbar spine

REMS Assessment - PLUS

$275 REMS Echolight Ultrasound includes both hips & lumbar spine

REMS Assessment - Limited

$175 REMS Echolight Ultrasound Limited to lumbar spine.

*Only available to clients with bilateral hip replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take?

REMS assessments are typically executed in 20 minutes or less!

How does it work?

Ultrasound pulses are emitted into the spine and/or femur neck. The echoes traveling back from the bone are analyzed by the system to calculate the density and fragility of the bone. This information is combined to produce a 5 year risk of major orthopedic fracture.

How often can I do a REMS scan?

Because it is ultrasound based, the assessment can be performed as often as requested.

It is recommended that 3-6 months be utilized as a guideline to detect sufficient changes in the bone.

What information will I leave with?

The system performs all the required analyses of the acquired information and produces a report within 2 minutes of the scan being completed. You will know your T-Score, Fragility Score, and Fracture Risk.

What information does REMS provide that DEXA doesn't?

REMS not only assesses the density of bone but also evaluates the microarchitecture of the bone to analyze the quality of the bone. This assessment is expressed numerically in a fragility index. This value is combined with the calculated density score to produce a 5 year risk factor of fracture.

How is REMS different than DEXA?

REMS calculates a more accurate level of bone density, than DEXA because it is more sensitive to change in bone density. DEXA requires a change of 5-6% in bone density whereas REMS can detect changes of 0.5-1% or 400-900% increase in sensitivity. DXA requires about 2 yrs to see a difference whereas REMS can see change in 3-6 months.
