Comparing two bone scans for osteoporosis diagnosis
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 90 years old
- You are seeing a doctor about your bone health or osteoporosis risk
- You had a DXA bone scan within the last 7 days as part of your regular care
- You can attend a follow-up phone call at 6 and 12 months
- You are not pregnant

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 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.
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 checks if a new low-dose X-ray system (EOSedge) gives the same bone density measurements as the standard DXA scan. It is for adults getting spine or whole-body X-rays as part of their care, or healthy volunteers willing to have research scans.
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 uses special imaging to compare bone structure in people with conditions that cause bone or muscle loss vs. those with back pain. It aims to better understand bone health in different diseases.
