Why Opt for Screening?

The primary objective of screening (also referred to as ‘preventive examination’) is to identify illnesses at an early stage, facilitating timely and effective interventions.

Typically, medical conditions are more manageable when detected promptly. Screening entails testing individuals without any symptoms to ascertain the possibility of an early-stage illness. A notable example of early detection is the population-wide screening for breast cancer, a routine procedure for women over the age of 45. Although this examination solely focuses on the breasts, it serves as an illustration of early identification.

A comprehensive body scan provides insights into crucial body components. This assessment encompasses MRI scans of vital organs and blood vessels, accompanied by cardiac screening to assess cardiovascular health.

Our MRI procedure comprises a four-part scan that encompasses the skull and brain, neck arteries, upper abdomen, and lower abdomen. The lumbar spine (lower back) is only provided with a cursory overview, as the primary focus of the body scan’s MRI is on organs and arteries, rather than joints.

Within the MRI scan regions, various diagnoses can be made. However, certain organs, such as the stomach and intestines, may not always yield distinct images. Additional testing is necessary to accurately diagnose these areas.

Based on individual risk factors, the physician may recommend modifications to the standard examination program during the initial consultation.
