Body Composition MRI

Advanced MRI-based body composition analysis measuring visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and lean muscle mass. Provides precise metabolic health indicators beyond BMI.

Prescan's body composition MRI uses specialised imaging sequences to quantify visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous fat distribution, and lean muscle mass across the torso and limbs. This provides a significantly more accurate assessment of metabolic health risk than BMI or waist circumference alone. Visceral fat — the fat surrounding internal organs — is the strongest independent predictor of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. MRI can measure it precisely and reproducibly, making it ideal for tracking changes over time in response to diet, exercise, or medication interventions. At 849 EUR, this is positioned as a premium wellness assessment for health-optimisation-focused individuals, athletes seeking body composition data, and patients with metabolic conditions wanting objective measurements. The same-day radiologist consultation contextualises the numbers with reference ranges and practical health recommendations.
