Led by Dr. Krystyna Shepetiuk (PharmD, CDCES, IFM), our team uses FDA-cleared REMS technology developed by Echolight S.p.A. — measuring both bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture quality with zero ionizing radiation.
Located inside Strength Lab Plus

Services & Pricing
Answer: Our Naples location offers REMS bone health assessments starting at $325, body composition analysis, expert consultations, and personalized wellness plans. All services include same-day results and are HSA/FSA eligible.
Radiation-free ultrasound-based bone density and quality assessment with same-day results, T-score, fragility score, and 5-year fracture risk evaluation.
Advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis measuring muscle mass, body fat distribution, cellular hydration, and sarcopenia risk indicators.
One-on-one session with a wellness education specialist to review your assessment results, discuss potential risk factors, and outline educational next steps.

Answer: REMS bone assessment is a screening tool for adults concerned about bone health and is not a replacement for diagnostic imaging ordered by a physician. Individuals currently under active treatment for osteoporosis should discuss REMS results with their treating physician. REMS results do not replace DEXA scans required for insurance-mandated treatment monitoring.
HSA/FSA accepted. No referral required.
Answer: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using zero-radiation ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using low-dose X-ray. REMS provides a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer, with same-day results at our Naples location.

The REMS scan revealed early bone quality concerns that my DEXA missed. Dr. Shepetiuk explained everything clearly and created a plan I can actually follow. The whole process took 20 minutes.

I was nervous about radiation from a traditional bone scan. Finding out REMS uses zero radiation was a game-changer. The staff was incredibly kind and my results were ready before I left.

FAQ
Answer: Common questions about REMS bone health assessments at our Naples location include appointment length (~20 minutes), insurance (HSA/FSA accepted), referral requirements (none needed), and what to wear (comfortable, loose-fitting clothing).
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared, radiation-free ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses no ionizing radiation and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results.
DEXA scans use X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses ultrasound, involves zero radiation exposure, and measures both BMD and bone quality — providing a more complete picture of bone health. REMS also calculates a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer.
No referral is required. You can book your REMS bone health assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
REMS assessments are not typically covered by traditional health insurance. However, you can use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds to pay for your assessment. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
The REMS bone health assessment itself takes approximately 20 minutes. Plan for about 30 minutes total to allow time for check-in and a brief overview of your results before you leave.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas. You do not need to undress — the ultrasound works through light clothing.
Adults over 40, post-menopausal women, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those taking medications that may affect bone density (corticosteroids, certain cancer treatments), and anyone proactive about their long-term skeletal health may benefit from a REMS assessment.
Yes. The REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) device by Echolight S.p.A. is FDA-cleared under 510(k) clearance number K213854. It is classified as a diagnostic ultrasound system for bone density assessment and is approved for clinical use in the United States.
No special preparation is required. You do not need to fast, avoid supplements, or change your medication schedule. Simply wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed through light fabric on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas.
Our Naples flagship office is located inside Strength Lab Plus at 3341 Tamiami Trl N, Naples, FL 34103. We are conveniently situated on the Tamiami Trail with free parking available directly in front of the building.
Our Naples location is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We are closed on weekends. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
