Assessing Bone Mineral Density Using Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry

This video demonstrates the radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry (REMS) technique for assessing bone mineral density (BMD). The patient is positioned supine, and ultrasound gel is applied to the femoral neck, a fracture-prone site in the femur. The probe then emits ultrasound waves, which reflect off the bone tissue at a speed influenced by BMD. The probe captures these reflected waves, enabling the quantification of BMD.
