Safer, Faster, Stronger: Pensacola Welcomes State-of-the-Art Bone Scan Facility

Pensacola, FL – [July 19, 2024] – Northwest Florida Bone Scan is thrilled to announce its official launch, bringing cutting-edge bone health densitometry to the Gulf Breeze and Pensacola communities. Our new facility is dedicated to providing comprehensive bone scans that aid in the early detection and management of osteoporosis and osteopenia. With precise and reliable scan information, we aim to improve health outcomes in our community.

Our facility uses a revolutionary technology called Echolight REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry), which is better than the traditional DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) bone scans. Unlike DEXA scans, Echolight REMS does not use radiation, making it safer for repeated use. This technology also provides very accurate results immediately, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat bone health issues faster.

“We are excited to introduce Echolight to the community. We’re only one of four locations in the state offering this, and the only facility in all of north Florida with this new technology,” said Norm Peterson, Managing Director of Northwest Florida Bone Scan. “Our goal is to give patients and doctors the best tools to make smart choices about bone health,” said Peterson.

Please note, Northwest Florida Bone Scan does not diagnose medical conditions but provides detailed scan results to aid healthcare providers in the diagnosis process. This approach ensures patients receive thorough evaluations from their medical professionals, who can then develop personalized treatment plans based on our comprehensive scan data.

As part of our commitment to integrated healthcare, Northwest Florida Bone Scan has partnered with OsteoStrong Gulf Breeze and OsteoStrong Cordova Pensacola. This collaboration aims to provide a holistic approach to bone health, combining expert scan services with OsteoStrong’s innovative bone-strengthening solutions.

“Partnering with OsteoStrong shows how committed we are to helping our patients live healthier, stronger lives,” said Peterson.

Dr. Brett Smith, Medical Director of OsteoStrong Gulf Breeze and OsteoStrong Pensacola, also expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership.

“We’re excited to combine Northwest Florida Bone Scan’s advanced technology with OsteoStrong’s unique bone-strengthening program,” said Smith. “This partnership is a game-changer for our community. It helps detect osteoporosis and osteopenia early on, so we can take action to boost bone strength and prevent fractures.”
