Full Body MRI

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.
