The duration of the examination depends on the chosen examination programme. We will ensure that your comfort and health is our priority and focus. All examinations programmes will take no longer than 3 to 4 hours.
A body scan is a vital part of the early detection process. With the 3T MRI scanner at our London clinic, we offer same-day results with no need for a referral, giving you a total overview of your health.
A body scan is an effective way to detect issues earlier and find the source of pain or discomfort. Through MRI testing, CT scans, and laboratory examinations such as blood tests, we can build a full picture of your health. With Prescan, you receive your results in real-time and speak to a consultant on the same day to discuss next steps.
At Prescan, we have three different body scan options to suit different budgets and medical needs. All our body scans include a 2-3 hour examination process and 5 MRI scans.
Our Body Scan Plus and Body Scan Excellent packages include additional testing to build a fuller picture of your health.
Laboratory Testing: Blood, urine, and stool testing checks organ function, identifies health risks, and helps you to gain further insights that do not show up on a scan. Laboratory testing is carried out on the same day as the MRI scans, and results are received within a week.
CT Heart (Calcium Score): CT scans of the heart screen for calcification of the coronary arteries, which could result in a heart attack. This treatment includes a risk assessment for the next five years and checks for infection of the heart muscle and pericardium.
