Looking for a DEXA scan in London?
DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the standard NHS test for bone density. In London it is usually arranged through a GP referral to a hospital, or booked privately at an imaging clinic.
Screen My Bones offers a different option: a REMS ultrasound scan of the hip and spine that uses no ionising radiation and needs no referral. It reports a T-score and Z-score like DEXA, plus a Fragility Score. If your GP has recommended a DEXA scan, follow their advice; if you want to check your bone health proactively, REMS is a radiation-free way to do it in central London.
Comparing a private DEXA scan in London with REMS? Both measure the hip and spine and report a T-score and Z-score. The differences are in how: DEXA uses a low dose of X-rays at a fixed scanner, while REMS uses ultrasound with no ionising radiation, which is why it can run at partner venues such as Regent Street in the West End and Pimlico, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Victoria and Pimlico stations.

Frequently asked questions
- Where can I get a bone density scan in London?
- Screen My Bones holds assessment days at two London venues: the BIOGENA Store & Longevity Lab, 80 Regent Street (W1B 5HH), and Everyone Active at the Queen Mother Sports Centre, 223 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico (SW1V 1EL). Upcoming dates for both are listed on this page.
- Do I need a referral to book a scan in London?
- No. You can book a Screen My Bones assessment directly online without a GP referral.
- Which London venue should I choose?
- Both venues offer the same assessment. Regent Street suits people working or shopping in the West End; the Pimlico venue is convenient for Victoria, Westminster and south-west London. Choose whichever has a date that works for you.
- Is a REMS scan the same as a DEXA scan?
- No. DEXA uses low-dose X-rays; REMS uses ultrasound, so there is no ionising radiation. Both report a T-score and Z-score for the hip and spine, and REMS also gives a Fragility Score.
- How do I get a DEXA scan in London?
- On the NHS, a DEXA scan is usually arranged through a GP referral to a hospital. Privately, you can book at an imaging clinic; some private providers accept self-referral and others ask for a GP referral, so check before booking. If you would rather avoid X-rays, Screen My Bones offers a radiation-free REMS scan in central London with no referral needed.
- Can a REMS scan replace a DEXA scan my GP has recommended?
- No. If your GP has recommended a DEXA scan, follow their advice. A Screen My Bones REMS assessment is a proactive, radiation-free screening option, and you can share your results report with your GP.
- How quickly will I get my results?
- Your full results report is emailed within 24 to 48 hours of your London appointment.
