Advanced, Radiation-Free Bone Health Screening with Echolight REMS
Midwest Bone Health Screening provides convenient, non-invasive bone health screenings using Echolight REMS technology, an innovative, ultrasound-based assessment designed to evaluate bone status without radiation exposure.
What Is Echolight REMS?
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared and clinically validated technology that uses ultrasound signals to assess bone characteristics. This technology was developed in Italy by Echolight Medical and has been in use in Europe for many years.
Unlike Traditional DXA Scans:
- Uses no ionizing radiation
- Is non-invasive and painless
- Can be performed in community-based or outpatient settings
- Provides immediate, standardized results
REMS evaluates bone status by analyzing raw ultrasound signals at specific skeletal sites.
Why Choose Echolight REMS?
Radiation-Free
Uses ultrasound technology - completely safe with no ionizing radiation exposure
FDA-Cleared
Clinically validated technology trusted across Europe for years
Fast Results
30-minute appointment with immediate, standardized results
More Accurate
Advanced analysis eliminates artifacts that can skew DXA results
Comprehensive
Includes bone density, Bone Strength Score, and body composition analysis
Repeat Monitoring
Safe for frequent screenings to track bone health over time
What the Screening Measures
Bone Density Assessment
Echolight REMS screenings assess bone status at clinically relevant sites including the lumbar spine (vertebrae L1-L4) and femoral neck (hip). Get your BMD, T-score, Z-score and Classification of Bone Status for each site.
Bone Strength Score (BSS)
Reflects the quality of internal trabecular bone structure - the spongy, lattice-like bone inside larger bones. This provides insight into bone microarchitecture, not just bone quantity.
Body Composition Analysis
Evaluates the relative distribution of lean muscle mass, fat mass, and body fat percentage. Understanding this relationship is valuable for overall bone health and physical function.
A More Complete View of Bone Health
By combining bone density classification, Bone Strength Score, and body composition analysis, Echolight REMS offers a multi-dimensional overview of bone and musculoskeletal health - all without radiation and in a comfortable, non-invasive setting.

Why REMS Technology Over Traditional DXA?
Echolight REMS represents a significant advancement in bone health assessment, offering multiple advantages over conventional DXA scanning methods.
More Comprehensive
REMS software can identify and separate signals from cortical and trabecular bone, allowing for a more comprehensive evaluation of bone microarchitecture. This enhances accuracy in estimating internal bone strength and detecting changes in bone health.
More Accurate
REMS offers significantly increased levels of accuracy, reproducibility, and sensitivity to bone mass changes. It can eliminate artifacts (such as calcifications, vertebral fractures, and structural abnormalities) that often lead to an overestimation of BMD by DXA.
Safer
REMS is non-invasive and safe for repeated monitoring, as it utilizes ultrasound rather than x-ray. No radiation exposure means you can monitor your bone health as often as needed.
Faster
A REMS appointment takes approximately 30 minutes and offers real-time results, with detailed reports available instantly. No waiting days for results.
