Wednesday, 26 November, 2025

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Sarah discusses two primary methods for measuring bone density: DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) and REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry). The episode explains what each method measures, their technologies, reliability, and practical applications. It compares their availability, cost, accuracy, and limitations. DEXA is recognized as the clinical gold standard but has some limitations, while REMS, although newer, shows promise with advantages in certain clinical situations.Movement Logic Site Wide Sale now on!Follow Movement Logic on InstagramReferences:77: Are You Getting DEXA Scammed?FRAX toolBest Practices for Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Measurement and ReportingNew technology REMS for bone evaluationCould radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry (REMS) overcome the overestimation in BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine?DXA beyond bone mineral density and the REMS techniqueCost-effectiveness of radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in the United States
