Answer: REMS bone assessment is a screening tool for adults concerned about bone health and is not a replacement for diagnostic imaging ordered by a physician. Individuals currently under active treatment for osteoporosis should discuss REMS results with their treating physician. REMS results do not replace DEXA scans required for insurance-mandated treatment monitoring.
Answer: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using zero-radiation ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using low-dose X-ray. When REMS arrives in Atlanta, GA, residents will have access to Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer — with same-day results.

Expert Voices
Answer: Leading orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, and bone health specialists worldwide recognize REMS Echolight as a transformative advancement in bone health assessment. These independent medical experts use REMS technology in clinical practice and have publicly shared their perspective on its advantages over traditional DEXA scanning.
Dr. Doug Lucas, DO
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Osteoporosis Specialist
United States
“DEXA tells you the quantity of bone, but not the quality. I prefer REMS from Echolight to understand real fracture risk.”
Dr. Vonda Wright, MD
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Sports Surgeon, Author of "Unbreakable"
Orlando, FL
“I would like all postmenopausal women to get a DEXA scan or a REMS ultrasound and actually know the status of their bones.”
Dr. Kimberly Zambito, MD
Attending Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of Qualis Os, First US Physician to Introduce REMS
Newtown, PA
“REMS is 5 times more sensitive to BMD changes than DXA. The Fragility Score reflects the quality of bone — something DXA simply cannot measure.”
Dr. Andy Bush, MD, FAAOS
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of BoneForte, Most Experienced US REMS Provider
Sanford, NC
“What has been truly needed is a safe, radiation-free way to test bone strength and determine real fracture risk — this is exactly what REMS offers.”
Dr. Yevgeniya Kushchayeva, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Endocrinology, University of South Florida / Tampa General Hospital
Tampa, FL
“Assessment of bone health is a multifaceted clinical process. REMS technology provides bone quality architecture data of direct value to clinicians planning treatment.”
Gary Rhodes, Founder of Screen My Bones®
Global Director at Performance Health Systems, Bone Health Technology Evangelist

“Osteoporosis is not a disease. It is a deconditioning of the bone — and like muscle, it can be reconditioned through proper intervention.”
Dr. Nick Birch, FRCS
Consultant Spinal Surgeon, Co-Founder of Osteoscan UK, Echolight Train-the-Trainers Accredited

“Having conducted over 3,500 Echolight scans, I have seen firsthand how this groundbreaking technology is revolutionizing bone health.”

Registration is free — simply provide your contact information and we'll keep you updated as we approach the launch date.
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared, radiation-free ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans which use X-ray radiation, REMS uses ultrasound and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results. When REMS becomes available in Atlanta, you'll receive a comprehensive report including T-score, Fragility Score, and 5-year fracture risk evaluation.
DEXA scans, commonly available in Atlanta, GA, use low-dose X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses zero-radiation ultrasound and measures both BMD and bone microarchitecture quality — providing a more complete picture of your bone health. REMS also provides a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer, with same-day results.
No referral is required to receive a REMS bone health assessment in Atlanta, GA. Once our Atlanta location launches, you can book your assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
Our REMS bone health assessment pricing is standardized across all Function Bone Health locations. Current pricing starts at $325 for the REMS scan with additional services available including body composition analysis, wellness education consultations, and personalized wellness plans. HSA and FSA funds are accepted. Join the waitlist for the latest pricing information specific to Atlanta.
Yes. REMS bone health assessments and related wellness services qualify for Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payment. When our Atlanta location launches, you'll be able to use these tax-advantaged healthcare funds for your assessment.
Adults over 40, post-menopausal women, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those taking medications that may affect bone density (corticosteroids, certain cancer treatments), and anyone in the Atlanta area proactive about their long-term skeletal health may benefit from a REMS assessment. The radiation-free nature of REMS makes it suitable for more frequent monitoring.
