Why REMS
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) is an advanced, radiation-free bone assessment technology designed to evaluate bone status at key skeletal sites using raw ultrasound signal analysis—helping provide clearer insight, especially when traditional DEXA results can be influenced by common artifacts.
This is for you if…
Women 45+ (peri/post-menopause)
Anyone with “normal” DXA but high concern/risk
Degenerative spine changes / arthritis / scoliosis (common DXA artifact issues)
People tracking progress over time and want clean trend data
Those who prefer no radiation
Better information leads to better decisions
Bone health isn’t just about a single number—it’s about risk, trend, and timing. REMS was developed to help clinicians and patients evaluate bone status using ultrasound radiofrequency signals, with the goal of providing reliable assessment without exposure to ionizing radiation.
What REMS actually measures
REMS is not a basic ultrasound. It is a specialized approach that analyzes raw ultrasound radiofrequency spectraacquired at clinically relevant sites (commonly lumbar spine and femoral neck) to estimate bone mineral density (BMD) and support fragility-risk assessment.
Unlike 2D X-ray projection imaging (DEXA), REMS is designed to reduce the impact of factors that may distort X-ray–based readings—particularly in the spine—so the assessment can be more representative of actual bone status in real-world bodies (not perfect textbook ones).
Accuracy depends on operator quality—and we take that seriously
Peer-reviewed work on REMS highlights that proper acquisition and operator training matter for best results. At SonoHealth CA, scans are performed with a precision-first process and guided by trained professionals—because the technology is only as good as the hands using it.
