REMS vs DEXA: The Future of Bone Density Testing?

In this episode, we dive into the new frontier of bone health: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry). It’s a cutting-edge technology gaining traction as an alternative to the traditional DEXA scan — but does it actually perform better?

We break down what REMS is, how it works, and whether it offers more accurate or convenient results compared to DEXA. From diagnostic benefits to clinical limitations, this episode gives you a doctor-approved look at the real pros and cons of this emerging tool in osteoporosis care.

You’ll learn:

  • What REMS technology actually measures 📊
  • How REMS compares to DEXA in accuracy and safety ⚖️
  • Whether REMS is better for certain patients or conditions 👩‍⚕️
  • Major benefits like radiation-free scanning 🚫☢️
  • Key drawbacks and where DEXA still wins out 📉
  • What current studies say about REMS in practice 📚
