Important before booking
Whole-body MRI is a broad screening overview, not a diagnosis or a guarantee of health. For people without symptoms or specific risk factors, evidence of benefit remains limited. It can miss disease and may find incidental abnormalities that need additional tests. If you have symptoms, contact a clinician locally instead of relying on a travel screening.
MRI and ultrasound do not use ionizing radiation. MRI still requires safety screening for implants, pregnancy, claustrophobia and any planned contrast.
CT / DXA / mammography / PET-CT
These modalities use ionizing radiation. They should be added only when a clinician confirms an appropriate screening or diagnostic indication.
