I have been told by several people you really can't compare the DEXA and REMS. that is like comparing Apples and oranges.

I've heard that too, but I don't understand it. If they are both giving bone density readings for the same specific site, say left femoral neck, why shouldn't that information be comparable? My first REMS was pretty much the same as the DEXA I had six month before that. I'd been planning to stick with REMS, but I'm beginning to worry about its reliability given what I'm hearing from others.
