Diamond VIP Checkup

The most comprehensive screening available at Hanshin Medipia, adding PET-CT of the brain and torso, five-gene DNA cancer panels, liver fibroscan, heart rate variability analysis, autoimmune screening, and heavy metals testing to the Platinum package. This executive-tier programme delivers the deepest level of cancer, genetic, and environmental exposure assessment the clinic offers, typically completed within a full day.

The Diamond VIP Checkup at Hanshin Medipia is the clinic's most extensive screening programme, designed for patients who want maximum diagnostic coverage in a single visit. It builds on the entire Platinum tier and adds molecular, genetic, and environmental testing that goes well beyond standard preventive screening protocols. PET-CT imaging of the brain and torso uses a radiotracer (typically fluorodeoxyglucose) to highlight areas of abnormally high metabolic activity, which can indicate malignancy, inflammation, or infection. PET-CT is among the most sensitive tools available for detecting cancers at early stages, particularly lymphomas, lung cancers, and metastatic disease. The combined PET and CT data fuses metabolic information with anatomical detail, allowing radiologists to localise suspicious uptake patterns with precision. Five-gene DNA cancer panels analyse inherited variants associated with elevated risk for specific cancer types. While not a diagnostic test for active cancer, genetic screening identifies predispositions that can inform surveillance schedules, lifestyle modifications, and family counselling. The panel focuses on well-characterised variants with established clinical significance. Liver fibroscan (transient elastography) measures liver stiffness as a non-invasive alternative to biopsy, screening for fibrosis and fatty liver disease — conditions that are increasingly prevalent globally and often progress silently before symptoms appear. Heart rate variability analysis evaluates autonomic nervous system balance by measuring beat-to-beat variation in cardiac rhythm. Reduced HRV is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and chronic stress, and the measurement provides a functional snapshot that complements the structural cardiac imaging from lower tiers. Autoimmune screening panels test for antinuclear antibodies and related markers that can indicate systemic autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome. Heavy metals testing measures blood and urine levels of lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, screening for environmental exposures that accumulate over time and can affect neurological, renal, and cardiovascular function. The full-day appointment includes all components from every lower tier, guided by a dedicated coordinator. The senior physician consultation at the end synthesises findings from over one hundred individual data points into a comprehensive health assessment.
