Women 50 and older
Bone loss accelerates after menopause. Guidelines recommend a baseline scan at 65 — sooner with risk factors.

The Technology
A bone density scan that doesn't use radiation
Traditional bone density testing relies on DEXA, which uses low-dose radiation to measure your bones. Bostdia offers a different approach: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry). It reads the way ultrasound waves travel through your bone to calculate density — with no ionizing radiation at all.
That matters for anyone who needs ongoing monitoring. Repeat DEXA scans add up; a REMS bone density scan can be repeated as often as your physician recommends, without adding radiation exposure.
- No radiation exposure
- Comfortable, non-invasive
- No undressing required
- Repeatable as needed
Who We Help
Should you have your bone density checked?
Osteoporosis is often called a silent condition — bones weaken gradually, without pain, until a fracture happens. A bone density scan is how you find out where you stand while there is still time to act.
Men 65 and older
Men lose bone density too, and fractures in men are often more serious. Screening is frequently overlooked.
Post-fracture patients
A broken bone from a minor fall is a red flag. Scanning helps your doctor decide on treatment.
Anyone on long-term medication
Steroids, PPIs, and some other medications affect bone health. Monitoring shows whether it's changing.

How It Compares
REMS vs. traditional DEXA scanning
Both measure bone density. The difference is how they do it — and what that means for you over the years.
