WHY CHOOSE REMS OVER DXA?
Choosing the right bone health scan can make all the difference in safeguarding your future.
Here’s why Echolight REMS stands out:
No Radiation
Your safety comes first. REMS uses advanced ultrasound technology, making it ideal for frequent monitoring without the risks of ionizing radiation.
More Accurate
REMS doesn’t just measure bone density; it evaluates bone quality, providing a complete picture and a more precise 5-year fracture risk prediction.
Sensitive Detection
Don’t wait years for answers. REMS detects subtle changes in bone health in as little as 6 months, empowering you to act sooner.
Inclusive for All
Unlike DXA, REMS delivers accurate results regardless of conditions like arthritis, scoliosis, or implants, ensuring reliable insights for everyone.
Faster Results
Get immediate, easy-to-read results from your quick scan, so you can start making informed decisions right away.
WHY IS REMS SUPERIOR TO DXA?
DXA | REMS | |
|---|---|---|
Reports Bone Mineral Density and T-score
| ||
High BMD accuracy and sensitivity | ||
Uses harmless ultrasound instead of x-ray radiation | ||
Early detection of new bone growth as early as 6 month (vs. 1-2 years with DXA) | ||
Report includes fragility score (predicts fracture risk better than T-score) | ||
Not impacted by machine-to-machine and operator-to-operator variation | ||
Results not impacted by arthritis, scoliosis, metal implants and other conditions | ||
Instant color coded report | ||
No doctor referral required | ||
Suitable for frequent monitoring | ||
Ideal for osteoporosis prevention and early detection (suitable for everyone over 20) |
