Platinum Checkup

An executive-level screening that extends the Gold package with MRI and MRA brain imaging, cardiac risk assessment, expanded allergy testing across 44 allergens, immune function analysis, and gender-specific advanced imaging including breast ultrasound and mammography for women. Includes a dedicated one-to-one English-speaking escort throughout the entire visit.

The Platinum Checkup at Hanshin Medipia is structured for executive and VIP patients who want comprehensive imaging coverage combined with advanced immunological and cardiovascular profiling. It is the first tier to include MRI, adding a significant dimension of diagnostic capability that CT and ultrasound cannot fully replicate. Brain MRI and MRA imaging evaluates the cerebral parenchyma for tumours, white matter lesions, and ischaemic changes, while the MRA maps the vascular architecture of the brain to screen for aneurysms, stenosis, and malformations. Unruptured cerebral aneurysms are present in an estimated three to five percent of the general population and are overwhelmingly asymptomatic, making screening MRA one of the higher-value additions for patients who have not previously had brain imaging. Cardiac risk assessment goes beyond the echocardiography and carotid ultrasound from the Gold tier, incorporating additional markers and functional tests to stratify cardiovascular risk more precisely. The evaluation considers both structural findings and biochemical indicators to produce a multi-factor risk profile. Allergy testing covers 44 common allergens across food, environmental, and inhalant categories using blood-based IgE measurement. While not directly related to cancer or cardiovascular screening, comprehensive allergy profiling can identify sensitivities that contribute to chronic inflammation, skin conditions, and digestive complaints that patients may not have connected to allergic triggers. Immune function analysis measures natural killer cell activity and lymphocyte subset counts, providing a snapshot of immune surveillance capacity. These markers are increasingly used in preventive medicine to gauge immune resilience. For women, the Platinum tier adds breast ultrasound and mammography alongside the existing pelvic and cervical screening, and ovarian function testing (AMH, estradiol, FSH). A dedicated one-to-one coordinator accompanies international patients through every station, handling translations and logistics throughout the five-hour appointment. The senior physician consultation at the end covers the full range of findings across all systems.
