Focused MRI Scan

A 45-minute whole-body MRI scan covering the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The scan screens for over 500 conditions including cancers, aneurysms, cysts, and organ abnormalities without radiation or contrast dye. Results are reviewed by board-certified radiologists.

Prenuvo's Focused Scan is a comprehensive MRI screening that covers the body from head to mid-thigh in approximately 45 minutes. The scan uses multi-sequence MRI protocols optimised for screening rather than targeted diagnostics, enabling broad detection across multiple organ systems and tissue types in a single session. The coverage area includes the brain, cervical spine, carotid arteries, thyroid, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, bladder, reproductive organs, and major blood vessels. The scan screens for over 500 conditions including solid-organ cancers, lymph node enlargement, liver and kidney pathology, aortic aneurysms, brain abnormalities, spinal disc herniations, and cystic lesions across all scanned regions. A key differentiator of the Prenuvo approach is the absence of ionising radiation and contrast dye. Unlike CT scans or PET scans, MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses to generate images, meaning the scan can be repeated annually without cumulative radiation exposure. The contrast-free protocol eliminates the small but real risk of adverse reactions associated with gadolinium-based contrast agents used in some MRI examinations. The scanning experience is designed for comfort. Clients wear provided clothing, lie on a cushioned table, and are given noise-cancelling headphones. The scanner is a modern wide-bore design that reduces claustrophobic sensations compared to older, narrower MRI machines. Staff communicate with clients throughout the scan via an intercom system. Results are reviewed by board-certified radiologists with training in whole-body screening protocols. Reports are delivered through Prenuvo's secure online portal, typically within a few business days, and include annotated images, categorised findings by clinical significance, and specific follow-up recommendations. Clients can share their reports directly with their primary care physician or specialist through the portal. The Focused Scan is Prenuvo's entry-level offering and covers the regions most relevant for early detection of common cancers and cardiovascular abnormalities. Clients seeking musculoskeletal coverage may consider the Whole Body Scan, which extends the examination to joints, the full spine, and extremities.
