Echolight
Now Available at OsteoStrong Garden Stare Park!
What is Echolight?
Echolight is the first ultrasound device capable of measuring bone at the hip and the spine using R.E.M.S. (radiofrequency echographic multi spectrometry) technology, allowing access to early osteoporosis prevention and detection, and monitoring bone health through basic health care.
R.E.M.S. Technology
R.E.M.S. uses radiation-free technology to assess
bone density and bone quality on the lumbar vertebrae (spine) and proximal femur (hip) using unfiltered native ultrasound signals, or radio frequency, deriving the most precise BMD (bone mineral density) measurements and bone quality measurements.
R.E.M.S. vs DEXA
Unlike DEXA technology, Echolight doesn’t use ionizing radiation (X-rays) to analyze bone density. Another issue with DEXA scans is the significant error rate associated with the completion and interpretation of the scan. REMS analyzes raw unfiltered ultrasound signals, recognizing even the smallest bone tissue details.
Benefits of R.E.M.S. Technology
1. Assess your bone health without harmful ionizing radiation.
2. Produce an automated report within several minutes.
3. Determine precise and correct bone health data.
4. Analyze brand-new bone health information — the Fragility Score.
5. Help clinicians give you more accurate fracture risk assessments.
6. Allow for early detection and diagnosis of low bone density and osteoporosis.
7. Allow you to take a more proactive approach to bone health.
8. Predict fragility fractures for women and pa/ents with type 2 diabetes or other risk factors.
9. Help in pre-operative bone assessment prior to joint replacement or spine fusion surgery.
Key Features of Echolight Scans
If you have been searching for a safer way to track your bone health, here’s how our accessible Echolight scans near Philadelphia are optimizing real-time fracture risk assessment:
Echolight can detect structural variations more accurately:
Traditional bone scans that utilize outdated X-ray technology to acquire t-scores and z-scores can produce erroneous, false artifacts and inconsistent bone density data. By merging ultrasound with radiofrequency imaging, Echolight REMS can illuminate the smallest bone density variations with astounding, multi-dimensional clarity.
Echolight can be used frequently with no side effects:
The real-time imaging benefits of Echolight are only rivaled by the safety and pain-free benefits of the technology. The ultrasound and radiofrequency waves used to visualize internal structures are 100% harmless; instead of repeated exposure to the ionizing radiation of X-rays, Echolight REMS is the clear choice for individuals who need regular bone scans and up-to-date z-scores or t-scores.
Echolight is easy and affordable with no pain or discomfort:
Our comprehensive bone testing services in Cherry Hill, NJ, only take a few minutes to perform. Best of all, the entire test is performed on the skin's surface with a smooth transducer that emits and receives the sound/radio waves. During the bone scan, there is never any pain or discomfort, only real-time imaging of your bones and connective tissues.

The radiation-free diagnostic accuracy of Echolight REMS is revolutionizing musculoskeletal wellness planning. The first ultrasound/radiofrequency device of its kind, the safe and non-invasive features of Echolight REMS provide detailed density and fragility scores in moments. Best of all, Echolight technology provides real-time visualization of all musculoskeletal structures for ease of diagnosis and health planning.
What are the improved outcomes? Definitive bone scan, t-score, and z-score data without costly procedures or health risks associated with frequent X-rays.
How Echolight Scans Work
Our Echolight scans in Cherry Hill, NJ, utilize a non-invasive combination of ultrasound waves and radio frequencies to produce an accurate image of internal structures. The transducer emits precise frequencies into the body, and as the waves pass through various structures in the tissue, the transducer creates and detects echoes. The echoes are then converted into electrical signals, which the computer processes to generate real-time images of the body.
Unlike ultrasound devices that can only effectively analyze soft tissues like muscle and cartilage, Echolight’s combination of echography and radiofrequency means it is now possible to evaluate denser structures like bone without X-rays!
