When it comes to keeping our bones strong and healthy, early detection of problems is key. You may have heard of bone density scans like DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which help doctors assess your risk of fractures or conditions like osteoporosis. But there’s a newer, cutting-edge technology making waves in the world of bone health: the REMS scan.
When it comes to keeping our bones strong and healthy, early detection of problems is key. You may have heard of bone density scans like DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which help doctors assess your risk of fractures or conditions like osteoporosis. But there’s a newer, cutting-edge technology making waves in the world of bone health: the REMS scan.
REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry. It’s a non-invasive, radiation-free way to assess bone health. Unlike traditional methods that use X-rays, REMS uses ultrasound technology – the same kind used during pregnancy.
It uses sound waves to build up a picture of the density and quality of your bones, typically at key sites like the spine and hip, which are most prone to fractures.

Radiation-free: Traditional bone scans like DEXA use a small dose of radiation. Because REMS uses ultrasound technology, it doesn’t use any radiation at all, making it a safer option for frequent monitoring – especially for younger patients or those with chronic conditions.
More than just density: REMS doesn’t just look at how dense your bones are. It also analyses the bone’s internal structure, giving a more complete picture of your bone strength and fracture risk1.
Portable and accessible: Because REMS scanners are small and mobile, they can be used in a wider range of healthcare settings – including outpatient clinics, wellness centres, or at community health events.
