Thank you for this detailed comparison. My wife has been dx'd with osteopenia, although at 82 she is in good health and remains active with gardening and other projects. We use a small local hospital for routine procedures, and a better, more distant (~80 miles) one for more serious issues, including surgeries. I will be looking into whether or not that larger hospital has begun using the REMS technology, as opposed to the Dexa-scans she usually gets locally.
We have had reason to question some of the radiology/ultrasound results locally (e.g. an 85% L carotid blockage by CT which was determined to actually be 20% (bilaterally) via arteriogram at the larger hospital.

How do we get it in the U.S.? Surely some enterprising practice wants to provide excellent service.
