Radiation-free, painless, and complete in a single session, with results explained the same day.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal components such as zippers, belts, or snaps near the waist and hip.
Avoid food for at least 3 hours before your appointment. Food and gas in the digestive tract can obscure the lower-spine scan. Water is fine until the last hour, then hold off on that too.
Continue your regular medication schedule. Nothing about the scan requires a change.
Your intake forms and payment are completed online when you book, so plan to arrive a few minutes early to settle in before we begin.
You lie comfortably on an examination table, face-up.
Your operator applies a small amount of ultrasound gel to the two areas being scanned, your lower spine and your hip.
The REMS® probe moves gently over the skin, capturing measurements of your bone density, bone quality, and 5-year fracture risk. No radiation, no compression, no injection.
The full appointment is about 30 minutes. The process is painless and requires no recovery time afterward.
After your scan, the ultrasound gel is wiped clean and you can immediately resume your normal activities. Unlike a hospital DEXA scan, you do not wait for a callback. Your operator walks you through your results in the room, the same day, and your full clinical report arrives by email. You have what you need to follow up with your practitioner.
Ultrasound, not X-ray. Safe for repeated use at any age, including pregnancy.
Real-time results, delivered and explained in the same session.
FDA-cleared technology that assesses bone density, bone quality, and fracture risk, not density alone.
MobileREMS brings clinical-grade bone assessment directly to you across Western Washington. The only mobile REMS® service in the South Puget Sound.
