I am in southern calif. Newport beach. I would like a REMS scan too. Last I checked with DEXA a year ago, I had osteopenia. The REMS scan is what modality? Thanks

kstar077,
The REMS Echolight is an Ultrasound device - there is no radiation involved. It is used regularly in Europe, and was developed in Italy. There is a Doctor in Scottsdale AZ that offers REMS Echolight bone scans. The scans are not covered by medical insurance but they are not unreasonably priced. I am watching for one to become available a little closer to my home.
