Did you
know that nearly one in two women over the age of 50 will suffer an
osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime? Even more alarming, the one-year
mortality rate for women who suffer a hip or femur fracture can be as high as
20 percent, similar to breast cancer. Despite these statistics, many women and
men are unaware of their bone density status, as osteoporosis and osteopenia
usually present no symptoms.
Traditional
methods of assessing bone health have often been limited in both accuracy and
convenience. However, a groundbreaking technology is now set to revolutionize
bone health diagnostics—Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry (REMS).
What is
REMS Technology?
REMS
technology is a state-of-the-art, noninvasive tool that provides a
comprehensive analysis of bone health. Unlike traditional DXA scans, which use
X-rays, REMS assesses bone density with ultrasound waves. This method is safer as
it does not expose patients to ionizing radiation, making it suitable for anyone
21 and older. For the first time, this technology allows for the screening of
younger adults, the prevention of osteoporosis in this population, and the
frequent assessment of progress during treatment. REMS is FDA-approved and offers
more precise measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) and T-scores, along
with a quantitative assessment of bone quality.
Benefits
of REMS Technology
1.
Comprehensive
Analysis: REMS provides a fragility
score and a detailed five-year fracture risk assessment. The fragility score is
a crucial indicator of bone quality and microarchitecture, offering a better
prediction of future fractures than BMD alone.
2.
Accuracy and
Precision: REMS technology offers
highly accurate and reproducible measurements. It eliminates common DXA
concerns related to machine or operator variation and issues caused by
artifacts from specific patient conditions or improper positioning.
3.
Radiation-Free: One of the significant advantages of REMS is that it is
entirely radiation-free, making it a safer option for frequent monitoring.
4.
Comfort and
Convenience: The REMS scan is quick,
painless and does not require any special preparation. With REMS, you can
easily get an appointment without the long wait times often associated with DXA
scans, and the instant report is interpreted for you.
