About this scan

What is a Full Body MRI?

A Full Body MRI is a comprehensive screening scan that examines major organs, tissues, bones and vascular structures from head to toe, all in a single appointment. Unlike individual targeted scans, a full body MRI is designed for proactive health screening: identifying early signs of disease before symptoms develop.

The scan covers the brain, spine, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, prostate or pelvis, and major blood vessels. There is no radiation involved; only MRI magnetic fields. A specialist radiologist produces a detailed report, typically within 5 working days.
