Full Body MRI

A full body magnetic resonance imaging scan evaluating major organs for tumours, abnormalities, and structural changes without ionising radiation. Performed on 1.5T or 3T equipment with intravenous contrast, taking 20 to 45 minutes. Non-claustrophobic open MRI options are available.

Full body MRI provides a radiation-free survey of the major organs and soft tissues, making it suitable for screening purposes where repeated imaging may be appropriate. The scan evaluates the brain, spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis for tumours, cysts, organ abnormalities, and structural changes that may warrant further investigation. CreuBlanca performs full body MRI on both 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla machines. The 3T units provide higher signal-to-noise ratios that improve image resolution, particularly useful for detecting small lesions. The facility also offers open MRI configurations for patients who experience claustrophobia in conventional tube-style scanners — a practical consideration that makes the procedure accessible to a wider range of individuals. Intravenous contrast (typically gadolinium-based) is administered during the scan to improve visualisation of blood vessels, inflammation, and certain tissue characteristics. The contrast agent is generally well tolerated, though patients with known kidney impairment should discuss suitability with the clinical team beforehand. At EUR 770, CreuBlanca's full body MRI represents competitive pricing for a facility with 3 Tesla capability and 75 years of diagnostic imaging experience. The scan duration of 20 to 45 minutes is shorter than many competitors, reflecting the efficiency of modern multi-channel coil technology and optimised scan sequences. Results are reviewed and reported by the radiology department.
