REMS (Echolight) Scan - anyone?

The REM just gave me outstanding results compared to my first DEXA 6 months ago.
My spine went from SEVERE osteoporosis of -3.7 to osteopenia -1.1
I am cautiously optimistic, I have another DEXA booked in 3 weeks time for comparison.
The experience was OK, I went to the Friday Naturopathic clinic on Broadway where he had most likely rented a room to run a few scans that day. He seems to travel around as you will see on the booking app. Someone completed the scan then we talked briefly afterwards and I received a full report.

How did the femurs compare? I cannot find anyone who can explain how the density can be so different between the two machines. I so want to believe my -1.8 REMS lumbar and not the -3.7 DEXA, but I don’t feel like we know enough yet. Mine was also done by someone traveling to four different sites in the Dallas area, also a naturopathic clinic. I was told my bones were just fine.I think there are some holes here somewhere.. Don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, but we need more information.
