Testing a new bone density scan in British women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of bone density scan called REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) to see how well it works in British women. If you are a woman over 20, you may be eligible to help researchers understand if this faster, radiation-free scan can replace traditional methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 20 or older.
- You agree to the scan and allow your anonymous data to be used for research.
- You have not had both hips replaced.
- You do not have uncontrolled muscle stiffness or a progressive neurological condition.

This study follows people who have had a minor bone break but whose bone density is not in the osteoporosis range. It aims to learn more about bone health in this group, which may help doctors better prevent future fractures.
This study compares a newer, no-radiation bone scan (REMS) with the standard DXA scan to see if it's just as good at diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting fractures. If you're already getting a DXA scan, you might be able to participate and help improve bone health testing.
This study uses a new ultrasound technology called REMS to check bone health in children aged 5 to 18 who have conditions that weaken bones. It may help find low bone density without radiation.
This study compares two ways to measure bone density: a standard X-ray method (DXA) and a newer ultrasound method (REMS). If you are a woman scheduled for a DXA scan, you may help researchers see if the ultrasound test is just as accurate and easier to use.
This study is creating standard reference values for bone density and body composition (like muscle and fat) in healthy women aged 20 to 89. It involves a bone density scan and body measurements to help doctors better understand normal values for women of different ages.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to look at how the brain might be linked to bone health in women with osteoporosis. It compares women with osteoporosis to healthy women of the same age.
