What is private screening without referral?
Private screening without referral means that you book an examination yourself to get more information about your health. This may be relevant if you want to take preventive action, have a hereditary burden or feel concerned that you want to have assessed.
At Prevcare, a full-body MRI is a broad private examination using an MRI scanner. It covers several organs and body parts and can be booked without a referral.
The examination is planned and should not be used for acute symptoms or rapidly deteriorating general condition.
What is included in a full-body MRI?
The examination covers 21 organs and body parts. Radiological examination, written report and review with a specialist doctor are included.
If the results show findings that need further investigation, a referral may be issued after medical assessment.
It gives you both a broad diagnostic imaging review and medical feedback afterwards.
- MRI of 21 organs and body parts.
- Radiological report.
- Review with a specialist doctor.
- Referral if necessary.
- Booking without referral.
When is private screening appropriate?
Private screening may be suitable for those who want to examine several parts of the body at the same time and have the results assessed medically.
It may be relevant if you have a hereditary predisposition, previous illness in the family, or want to take preventive action.
In the case of clear symptoms from a specific area, a targeted examination is often a better choice because the protocol can then be adapted more precisely.
Screening should always be interpreted medically
Findings from an examination need to be assessed in context. Some findings are benign, others need to be followed up, and some require further investigation.
Therefore, both a radiological report and a review with a specialist doctor after a full-body MRI are included.
You will receive help to understand the result and know if anything needs to be done.

When should you not choose private screening?
You should not choose private screening instead of emergency care. If you have new, clear or rapidly worsening symptoms, you should contact healthcare.
You should also choose a targeted survey if you already know which area needs to be investigated.
Seek immediate medical attention for chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain or rapid deterioration of general condition.
