Echolight sonogram scan for bones
Has anyone heard of, or had an Echolight sonogram scan instead of a radiation DEXA scan? New FDA approved that has been used in Europe for awhile. https://www.echolightmedical.com/en/company/

@junerose42 we also have a Rems in Scottsdale, AZ. I believe they’re becoming more wide spread throughout the U.S. I plan on getting one in a few months.
Is the Scottsdale REMS at URPrecious Ultrasound? I've been tracking locations and now have a list in 12 states. Recently, I found one starting up in Owings Mills, MD, about an hour from where I live in Virginia. I've got an appointment for REMS there in October.
Iam ha ing the echoligbt scan done tomorrow. I am so curious to compare the numbers to my dexa results.
I went for my echolite scan today. The results surprised me. I wonder how accurate the scan is. My numbers were much better than my dexa scan.
I went to Sanford, NC to have the REMS Echo Light scan. So happy I did. Yes, I have Osteoporosis, but with Ultrasound vs. radiation, the tech (James) could SEE my bones were very strong. I’m 74 and I have a skeleton of a 54 year old woman. I’ve always exercised (weight bearing) maintained a healthy diet and taken supplements. Results are — NO meds. That could change as I age, but I’ll continue to fight the good fight against Osteoporosis and those horrific meds. I did start doing HRT about a month ago. Dr. Bush is the orthopedic doc in Sanford and he explained the results of the test to me patiently and in great detail. What a kind and caring gentleman. He was happy I am on HRT.
Definitely see Dr. Bush!
Listen to your gut and go for the Echo Light!
I went yesterday and the results were so much better than my dexa!
For anyone in the New Jersey vicinity, this is one place to get an Echolight scan. I called them today and was able to make an appointment. Wayne, NJ (northeast Jersey.)

Let me know how you make out. My friend who was on fosomax five years and is now on her break, went and had the echo lite done yesterday and her numbers were horrible. She went from -1.6to a -4.2. She is beyond upset.
