With the revolutionary EchoS scanning system, assessing bone health is now transportable and easy to bring to the patient! We can come to you in addition to seeing you at our office.
Bone Density and Bone Quality can now be assessed anywhere
REMS densitometry is changing the bone heath landscape. REMS is a newer method of performing standard densitometry which also offers the additional benefit of assessing microstructural properties of bone referred to as bone quality. The REMS bone quality assessment referred to as the Fragility Score provides the most accurate method currently available to assess fracture risk. Because REMS is an ultrasound (pulsed echographic sonography) it is safe and portable!
Prevention Preserves Treatment Options
Healthcare is preventative medicine – it is the core of fracture prevention. Early screening is essential. Many in the bone healthcare field recommend perimenopausal bone densitometric assessment around the age of 50, not 65 as is the current recommendation.
By 65, a woman may have lost 30% of her skeleton and by that time treatment choices are significantly limited.
With early bone assessment, a baseline can be established and then routine yearly monitoring would be recommended. This recommendation for bone health monitoring is very much in line with other healthcare monitoring - blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes screening.
