Advanced — MRI + Blood + Body Composition

A comprehensive preventive screening combining the full-body MRI scan with an 81-biomarker blood panel, body composition analysis, and spine muscle assessment. The blood panel covers cardiovascular markers (ApoB, hs-CRP, lipids), metabolic health (HbA1c, HOMA-IR, insulin), thyroid function, liver and kidney panels, iron studies, full blood count, and vitamin D. Gender-specific imaging is included with prostate MRI for men and ovaries-plus-uterus MRI for women.

The Advanced package combines Ahead Health's whole-body MRI with a deep blood biomarker analysis and body composition assessment, providing a multi-dimensional picture of health that neither imaging nor blood work alone can deliver. The MRI component is identical to the Core package but adds gender-specific imaging: prostate screening for men and ovarian-plus-uterine imaging for women. Body composition analysis and spine muscle assessment provide quantitative data on lean mass distribution, visceral fat, and paraspinal muscle quality. The 81-biomarker blood panel is drawn at Z-Point Zurich, a dedicated laboratory in the city centre near Zurich Hauptbahnhof. Fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the blood draw is required. The panel spans cardiovascular risk markers including ApoB and high-sensitivity CRP, which together provide a more accurate picture of heart disease risk than standard cholesterol alone. Metabolic markers including HbA1c, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR identify early insulin resistance years before diabetes diagnosis. Thyroid hormones, liver enzymes, kidney function markers, iron studies, and a complete blood count round out the assessment. Results from both the MRI and blood work are integrated into a single report on the Ahead Health portal. Correlations between imaging findings and blood markers are highlighted. For example, fatty liver detected on MRI can be cross-referenced with liver enzyme elevations and metabolic markers to assess severity and progression risk. The physician consultation covers all findings and produces a personalised action plan with specific lifestyle and follow-up recommendations.
