Why do i need a bone score?

REMS Bone Scan Clinic - First for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

3 in 1 Scan

Bone Density

Assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine providing essential parameters for osteoporosis diagnosis, including BMD (g/cm²), T-scores, and Z-scores.

Bone Density

Fragility Score

An independent evaluation of internal bone structure to estimate fracture risk over 5 years using specialized statistical and spectral analysis.

Fragility Score

Body Composition

Assessment of body component distribution, delivering measurements for BMI, body fat, and basal metabolic rate during the scan.

What is a Bone Score?

A bone score measures bone density and strength, providing crucial insights into bone health. It helps identify the risk of fractures and conditions like osteoporosis, enabling timely intervention to prevent complications. This assessment is particularly important for individuals at risk of bone loss, such as older adults or those with certain medical conditions, ensuring appropriate treatments and lifestyle adjustments to maintain strong, healthy bones and improve overall well-being.

What is REMS Bone Scan?

A REMS Scan is a non-invasive imaging technique used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) and Bone Score. By providing a precise assessment of bone strength, Rems scans help identify potential risks of osteoporosis and fractures. Unlike traditional X-rays, Rems scans use significantly less radiation, making them a safer option for patients. With early detection and appropriate interventions, individuals can take proactive steps to protect their bones and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. Rems scans offer a valuable tool for assessing bone health and promoting overall well-being.

Don't Wait to Fracture

Bone density screening is essential as 75% of people with low bone density remain undiagnosed until they suffer a fracture. Early detection allows proactive management, preventing painful and debilitating injuries. High-risk groups include postmenopausal women, men over 50, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those on long-term steroids, smokers, and people with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Don’t wait for a fracture—prioritise your bone health today.

The differences between DEXA and Echolight R.E.M.S. Technology

DEXA has been the traditional gold standard for bone density scans, but it comes with limitations. Here’s how Rems technology offers advantages:
Radiation Exposure
Rems uses significantly less radiation compared to DEXA, making it a safer option, especially for frequent monitoring or those sensitive to radiation.
Scan Time
Rems scans are much faster than DEXA scans. Get results in minutes, compared to DEXA’s 15-minute scan time.
Versatility
Rems scans assess bone density in various body parts, unlike DEXA’s focus on spine and hip. This provides a more comprehensive bone health evaluation.
Patient Comfort

The open design of the Rems scanner makes it more comfortable, particularly for those who find traditional DEXA scanners claustrophobic.

Cost-Effectiveness

Depending on insurance, Rems scans might be cost-effective. While upfront costs might be similar to DEXA, lower radiation and faster turnaround times can contribute to overall cost savings.

Empower Your Health with a REMS Scan

Early diagnosis and intervention are key to managing bone health. Don't wait until a fracture occurs. Schedule your Rems Scan today and get a comprehensive picture of your bone density.

Frequently Asked Questions

A REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) Bone Scan is a cutting-edge, non-invasive method to assess bone density and evaluate bone health.

Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses ultrasound technology, is radiation-free, and provides precise bone health analysis.

Individuals at risk for osteoporosis, those with a family history of bone health issues, or anyone seeking to understand their bone health better.

The scan uses ultrasound waves to measure bone density at specific sites like the lumbar spine or femur. It’s quick, painless, and non-invasive.

No special preparation is required. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the scanning area.

The procedure typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
