Performance of REMS Bone Densitometry in a British Population

Sponsor: OsteoscanUK Ltd

Summary

Radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry (REMS) is a recently developed technology that uses ultrasound to assess bone density and bone quality. It was launched in 2018 since when OsteoscanUK Ltd has offered a clinical bone health service using a REMS scanner. REMS is an alternative to x-ray based dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans which are considered the "Gold Standard" for clinical densitometry. REMS is unique in offering not only bone density but also bone quality assessments in real time for both the spine and hip.
