Our Services
From individual assessments to full practice events, here's how OsteoScan Mobile can work for you.
Bone Density & Fragility Assessment
Using the FDA-cleared EchoLight device, this REMS-based scan measures bone mineral density and fragility at the lumbar vertebrae (L1–L4) and a femur — without radiation, and without requiring a hospital or imaging center visit. Results are delivered as a clear digital report within minutes.
$250
Body Composition Analysis
Performed during the same visit as a bone density assessment, this optional scan provides a fuller picture of overall health alongside your bone results.
+$75 add-on
Screening Events for Practices
Bring bone health screening directly to your patients with an on-site event day at your practice — no equipment purchase, no staff training, and no added overhead. A flexible way to offer a valuable new service without a long-term commitment.

Bone Density Screening FAQs
Answers for practices and individuals considering OsteoScan Mobile.
-
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an innovative, ultrasound-based technology used to assess bone health. Unlike traditional DXA scans, REMS does not use ionizing radiation. The examination evaluates the lumbar spine and hip and provides information about bone mineral density and bone fragility.
-
REMS and DXA are both technologies used to assess bone health, but they work differently. DXA uses a low dose of ionizing radiation to measure bone mineral density, while REMS uses ultrasound and does not expose patients to ionizing radiation.
REMS provides bone mineral density measurements, including T-scores and Z-scores, and also provides a Fragility Score—additional information about bone quality and fragility that is independent of bone mineral density.
DXA remains an established standard for osteoporosis assessment. REMS offers a radiation-free, portable alternative that can provide additional insight into bone health and fracture risk.
-
Bone density is only one part of understanding bone strength. The REMS Fragility Score provides additional information about characteristics of the bone's internal structure that are associated with skeletal fragility.
This can help provide a more comprehensive picture of bone health beyond bone mineral density alone.
-
No. REMS uses ultrasound technology and does not expose you to ionizing radiation.
Because it is radiation-free, REMS can be an appealing option for individuals who want to assess and monitor their bone health without radiation exposure.
-
REMS evaluates clinically important areas associated with osteoporosis and fracture risk, including the lumbar spine and proximal femur (hip).
-
The examination itself is quick and non-invasive.The lumbar scan takes approximately 80 seconds and the femur scan takes 40 seconds. Most appointments can be completed within approximately 15–20 minutes, although appointment times may vary.
-
Yes. Following your examination, a detailed REMS report is generated with your bone health measurements and results. Your report can be shared with your physician or other healthcare provider for interpretation in the context of your overall health and medical history.
-
Bone health assessment may be particularly important for adults as they age and for people with risk factors for bone loss or fracture, including menopause, family history of osteoporosis, previous fractures, low body weight, certain medical conditions, or medications that can affect bone health.
Your healthcare provider can help determine when bone density testing is appropriate for you.
-
REMS provides measurements used in the assessment of bone health, including bone mineral density, T-scores, Z-scores, and additional information about bone fragility.
Your results should be reviewed with your physician or qualified healthcare provider, who can interpret them along with your medical history, risk factors, and other clinical information when making a diagnosis or treatment decision.
-
A referral is not required to schedule a REMS bone health assessment with OsteoScan Mobile. However, REMS results are medical information and should be discussed with your healthcare provider, particularly if your results indicate low bone density or increased bone fragility.
-
No. REMS is non-invasive and painless. An ultrasound probe is placed over the areas being evaluated, similar to other ultrasound examinations.
-
REMS requires very little preparation. Wear comfortable clothing and follow any specific instructions provided when your appointment is scheduled. Additional preparation instructions will be provided if necessary.
-
OsteoScan Mobile is a self-pay service. This allows us to bring advanced bone health assessment directly to participating healthcare and wellness locations without requiring insurance authorization.
Payment information and current pricing are provided when your appointment is scheduled.
