Type
MRI Scan
Duration
1 hour
A 60-minute comprehensive whole-body MRI scan covering the entire body from head to toe, including the musculoskeletal system, joints, and full spine. The scan screens for over 500 conditions without radiation or contrast dye, providing the most thorough single-session screening available at Prenuvo.
Prenuvo's Whole Body Scan is the clinic's most comprehensive screening option, extending coverage from head to toe over approximately 60 minutes. This scan includes everything in the Focused Scan -- brain, cervical spine, carotid arteries, thyroid, lungs, heart, abdominal organs, pelvis, and major blood vessels -- plus full musculoskeletal evaluation of the thoracic and lumbar spine, shoulders, hips, knees, and soft tissue structures throughout the body. The expanded musculoskeletal coverage adds significant diagnostic value for active individuals and athletes. The scan can identify disc herniations, ligament tears, meniscal damage, labral pathology, stress fractures, and degenerative joint changes that may be asymptomatic but progressing. For longevity-focused clients, the full spine assessment provides baseline data on disc health and spinal alignment that can inform posture, exercise, and injury prevention strategies. Like the Focused Scan, the Whole Body option uses no ionising radiation and no contrast dye. The entire examination relies on magnetic resonance imaging, making it safe for annual repetition without cumulative exposure concerns. The additional 15 minutes of scan time compared to the Focused Scan accounts for the musculoskeletal sequences that cover the extremities and full spine in detail. The scanning experience follows the same comfortable protocol as all Prenuvo examinations. Clients receive noise-cancelling headphones, lie on a cushioned table in a modern wide-bore scanner, and communicate with technologists via intercom throughout. The wider bore design reduces claustrophobic sensations that some people experience in older MRI machines. Results are reviewed by board-certified radiologists and delivered through Prenuvo's secure portal, typically within a few business days. The comprehensive report includes annotated images organised by body region, findings categorised by clinical significance, and specific follow-up recommendations. The Whole Body report is substantially more detailed than the Focused Scan report, reflecting the additional anatomical coverage. At $2,499, the Whole Body Scan represents Prenuvo's premium screening tier. It is the recommended option for individuals who want the most complete single-session assessment available, particularly those with active lifestyles, joint concerns, or a desire for the broadest possible baseline against which future scans can be compared.
