Patient Guide: What to Expect During a REMS Echo Light Bone Density Test

If you're preparing for your first REMS Echo Light Bone Density Test at URPrecious 3D Breast Ultrasound, understanding what to expect can ease any concerns and ensure you feel comfortable and confident during your appointment. This patient guide explains the procedure, what to anticipate, and how to prepare for your test.

What is a REMS Echo Light Bone Density Test?

REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) Echo Light is a revolutionary bone density test designed to assess bone health and detect conditions such as osteoporosis. Unlike traditional bone density scans, REMS uses ultrasound technology, making it a radiation-free, quick, and precise method for evaluating your bones.

Preparing for Your REMS Echo Light Test

Preparation for a REMS Echo Light Bone Density Test is simple:

•          Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without any metal components, such as zippers or snaps.

•          Diet and Medications: There’s no need for fasting or adjusting your medication schedule. Continue your regular diet and medication regimen.

•          Arrival: Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and allow yourself to relax before the procedure.

What Happens During the Test?

•       Comfortable Positioning: You'll be asked to lie comfortably on an examination bed.

•       Application of Gel: A technician will apply a small amount of ultrasound gel to the area being scanned, typically the lower spine or hip.

•       Ultrasound Scan: The technician will gently move the Echo Light ultrasound probe over the skin, capturing detailed images and measurements of your bones.

•       Duration: The entire procedure usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The process is painless and requires no recovery time afterward.

What to Expect After the Test

Following your REMS Echo Light Bone Density Test, the ultrasound gel will be wiped clean, and you can immediately resume your normal activities. A radiologist will review your results, and your healthcare provider will discuss the findings with you, outlining any necessary next steps or treatments.
