Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS) is a non-ionizing technology for osteoporosis diagnosis and for fracture risk assessment. REMS processes the raw, unfiltered ultrasound signals acquired during an echographic scan of the axial sites, femur and spine. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain.
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA scan) is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when the bone mineral density is less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young (30–40-year-old [4]:58), healthy adult women reference population.
We all might be aware of ultrasounds from movies or TV shows, but not everybody knows that sonograms can actually be helpful for a lot more things besides pregnancy, whether that be looking at a ...
Diagnostic medical sonography (DMS), a branch of diagnostic medical imaging, is the use of imaging by medical ultrasound for medical diagnosis. DMS uses non-ionizing ultrasound to produce 2D and 3D images of the body. In Canada, the credentialing for diagnostic medical sonography is the Canadian Association of Registered Ultrasound Professionals.

Single photon absorptiometry is the first quantitative analysis method used in the diagnosis of osteoporosis. To evaluate bone quality, bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) are important indicators, and bone quality can reflect the health status of normal human bone tissue to a certain extent.
NFL legend Randy Moss says he is “battling” a health issue and called for his fans to send him “prayers.”. The former wide receiver, who now works as a pundit, posted two videos on ...
