The New Gold Standard in Bone Health Monitoring Has Arrived
At OsteoStrong, we’ve always believed that strength starts at the foundation. That’s why we focus not just on muscles, joints, or flexibility—but on the very structure that supports your entire life: your bones.
And now, we’re thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking advancement in bone health diagnostics:
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry)
A radiation-free, non-invasive, FDA-cleared alternative to traditional DXA scans—now available exclusively at OsteoStrong Central Oregon through Premiere Skeletal Imaging.
This technology empowers you to track your bone density and skeletal strength with greater comfort, accuracy, and accessibility than ever before.
🧬 What Is REMS?
REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry. It's a revolutionary technology developed in Italy and now used worldwide to measure bone mineral density (BMD) without ionizing radiation.
Unlike DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which uses low-dose radiation to estimate BMD, REMS analyzes radiofrequency signals obtained from ultrasound. These signals interact with bone tissue at the femoral neck (hip) and lumbar spine, delivering:
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) readings
Fragility Score – A proprietary risk factor indicating bone microarchitecture and fracture risk
Instant reports showing T-scores and Z-scores
And it does all of this in under 45 minutes, with zero exposure to radiation, making it ideal for frequent monitoring, sensitive populations, and proactive wellness clients.
🔬 Why REMS Is a Game-Changer (vs. Traditional DXA Scans)
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is truly a game-changer in the world of bone health assessment—especially when compared to traditional DXA scans. First and foremost, REMS is radiation-free, making it a safe and repeatable option for individuals who prefer to avoid even low-level exposure. It’s conveniently available in-center at OsteoStrong, meaning there’s no need for a referral or a trip to a hospital imaging department. With real-time results, clients can receive their bone health readings on the spot—no waiting days or weeks for follow-up reports. REMS also provides unique insight into bone microarchitecture through its proprietary Fragility Score, something traditional DXA doesn’t offer. From a comfort standpoint, the process is painless and performed in a relaxed, supine position, unlike some DXA systems that can feel clinical or awkward. Lastly, the REMS device is compact and portable, allowing for greater accessibility and flexibility.
Bottom line: REMS is a more accessible, holistic, and safer way to understand what’s really going on with your bones—making it a perfect complement to your OsteoStrong experience.
🧠 Who Should Consider REMS Scanning?
REMS is ideal for:
Adults 40+ wanting to proactively monitor bone health
Individuals with osteopenia or osteoporosis
People who’ve undergone fractures or experienced bone loss
Women in perimenopause or postmenopause
Individuals who prefer non-pharmaceutical approaches
Athletes recovering from stress injuries
Anyone looking for a radiation-free alternative to DXA
And for our OsteoStrong members already committed to weekly osteogenic loading sessions, REMS becomes a powerful companion tool—quantifying the skeletal benefits of your investment in strength.
