Specific imaging of the torso area to evaluate organs and structures within the chest and abdomen.
Includes & Identifies
Imaging focused on the head and torso regions for a detailed examination of brain and internal organs, not including the spine.
Includes & Identifies
Comprehensive imaging of the entire body to identify and assess various health conditions.
Includes & Identifies
Detects tumors in chest, abdomen, pelvis, head, neck, and smaller ones as well (1cm or larger).
Differentiates between malignant cancers and benign conditions.
Identifies treatable brain aneurysms.
Assesses small vessel ischemia and prior stroke evidence.
Evaluates sinus conditions.
Checks for disc herniation, spinal cord issues, spinal degeneration, and musculoskeletal conditions.
Screens for fatty liver disease and hemochromatosis.
Screens for MS in the brain and spine.

Whole-body MRI scans are an imaging technique that can provide detailed insights into the body’s internal structures, allowing for early detection of a wide range of medical conditions. Unlike traditional imaging methods, whole-body MRI scans are non-invasive, radiation-free, and highly effective in capturing a complete overview of a patient’s health.
