WESTPLEX INTEGRATIVE HEALTHCARE

Advanced Bone Health Assessment with Echolight REMS Technology

As the first clinic in St. Charles County to offer this groundbreaking technology, Westplex Integrative Healthcare now provides radiation-free bone density scanning using Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS). This FDA-cleared innovation delivers comprehensive bone health assessment in minutes, providing detailed analysis of both bone density and quality without the limitations of traditional DXA scans.

How REMS Technology Transforms Bone Health Assessment

Traditional bone density testing relies on ionizing radiation and is limited to measuring bone density alone, often missing critical information about bone quality and microarchitecture. REMS technology addresses these limitations by using revolutionary radiofrequency signals acquired during a simple ultrasound scan. This patented approach provides a complete "bone identity card" that includes bone mineral density, structural analysis, and fragility assessment for both lumbar vertebrae and proximal femur - all without radiation exposure.

Comprehensive Bone Analysis

Radiation-Free Innovation

Echolight REMS represents the most advanced bone densitometer available for clinical use. Through ultrasound scanning of axial anatomical sites like the spine and femur, this technology measures bone mineral density while processing detailed information about bone microarchitecture. The system overcomes all main limitations of DXA and traditional quantitative bone ultrasound methods.

Quick and Accurate Assessment

The ultrasound scan takes just 80 seconds for the spine and 40 seconds for the femur, enabling accurate prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring without positioning limitations or manual image segmentation. Each examination generates an instantaneous medical report including BMD (g/cm²), T-score, Z-score, plus independent assessment of internal bone structure with fragility and body composition indices.

Clinical Applications and Benefits

Clinical guidelines developed by the Italian National Institute of Health recognize REMS technology as an advanced recommendation for fragility fracture risk assessment. This portable, cost-effective solution allows comprehensive bone health evaluation for patients who cannot undergo traditional radiation-based testing, including those with diabetes, cancer treatment history, and other conditions where radiation exposure should be minimized.

The Assessment Process

Our Team Supports You Through The Entire Experience

The REMS assessment begins with a simple
