Stronger Bones Start with Better Information.
Bone Health Screening assesses:
- Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
- T-Score
- NEW Fragility Score Indicator
Using the latest ultrasound technology: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry)
What Is REMS Bone Screening?
REMS is an advanced, radiation-free ultrasound scan of the spine and hip that evaluates bone strength and fracture risk – safely and accurately.
- No X-rays
- No radiation
- Non-invasive and painless
- Takes 15 minutes
Why Get a Bone Health Scan?
- Bone loss is silent – fractures are often the first sign
- Early changes can occur years before osteoporosis is diagnosed
- Understanding your bone health allows you to act before fractures happen
A scan can help guide:
- Exercise and weight-bearing programs
- Nutrition and supplementation (calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, collagen)
- Hormone therapy or other medical strategies
Why REMS Over Traditional DXA?
REMS offers several important advantages:
✔ Radiation-free – safe for repeat monitoring
✔ Detects changes sooner – reassess progress in as little as 8-12 months
✔ Generates a Fragility Score – a functional measure of fracture risk
✔ Evaluates both cortical and trabecular bone
✔ Accessible – allows assessment even if you don’t qualify for a government-covered DXA scan
What Is the Fragility Score?
The Fragility Score is a 0 – 100 indicator of bone strength and fracture risk.
- Goes beyond bone density alone
- Reflects bone quality, structure, and stiffness
- Helps identify hidden fracture risk, even when BMD looks “borderline”
Lower score = higher fragility
Higher score = stronger, more resilient bone
Why Early Assessment Matters
- Bone loss often begins years before symptoms
- Early detection allows earlier lifestyle or treatment changes
- Monitoring progress sooner helps confirm you’re on the right path
