Under 40s Ultimate Assessment

A radiation-free comprehensive screening for younger adults using MRI instead of CT for all body imaging, combined with 40+ blood biomarkers, multi-organ ultrasound, ECG, mole screening, and a home stool test. Designed specifically for clients under 40 who want thorough screening without cumulative radiation exposure.

The Under 40s Ultimate Assessment addresses a specific clinical consideration: younger adults who want comprehensive screening but for whom cumulative radiation exposure from CT scanning is a greater long-term concern. The solution is straightforward — replace all CT imaging with MRI, which uses magnetic fields rather than ionising radiation to produce detailed cross-sectional images. The MRI programme is comprehensive. Brain imaging screens for tumours, structural abnormalities, and sinus or inner ear pathology. Cerebral and carotid artery angiography examines the blood supply to the brain and identifies narrowing or malformations in the neck and intracranial vessels. Abdominal and pelvic MRI covers the liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bladder, and reproductive organs. Prostate MRI is included for men. Ultrasound examinations cover the thyroid and gender-specific areas — testes for men, and ovaries and breast for women. An ECG assesses cardiac rhythm, a full-body mole screen covers skin cancer risk, and a home Q-FIT stool test screens for bowel cancer. The blood panel matches the breadth of the Platinum assessment with over 40 parameters including gender-specific tumour markers and hormone profiles. The notable trade-off compared to the Platinum or Gold packages is the absence of cardiac CT — coronary angiography and calcium scoring are CT-specific techniques, and clinically significant coronary artery disease is uncommon in under-40s. For younger adults prioritising a thorough baseline screen with zero radiation exposure, this assessment provides the most complete option available at Echelon Health.
