About Us
Osteoscan UK Ltd was the first company in Britain to offer commercial bone mineral density measurements with the EchoS diagnostic tool using REMS technology (radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry), developed by Echolight SPA (Italy).
​
EchoS is a radiation-free, diagnostic device that provides immediate bone mineral density results allowing our consultant-lead service to give you the very best advice regarding your own bone health.
Using the EchoS system Osteoscan UK provides access to earlier measurement of bone mineral density than DEXA, with immediate easy-to-understand results.
