Where in SoCal are you? In a search, SonoHealth at the Osteo Strong in Tustin came up as offering Echolight.

I don't know much about Echolight but it appears to be a small portable device that can be set up anywhere. I know with a Dexa, it is important to be aligned properly for the scan and it's important to get that procedure done with a trained densitometrist. What kind of training is provided to use the Echolight and is that training as important as when getting a Dexa? I believe the Echolight device itself provides the analysis (?) but is there any issue with the technician appropriately using the device? I emailed the service providers at SonoHealth asking what training or experience they have with the device/procedure and never got a reply. I'm going to try calling them to see if I can get any more info. I'd love to have the imaging done but want to make sure it's done by someone who knows what they are doing and that the results are accurate.

For anyone that's had the procedure done: What kind of provider did you see? What type of facility were you at and did the providers seem knowledgeable? Do you know if they had any training on the device? Is any of that important with REMS?
